City of Ukiah, Art, Culture, and History

Arts | Culture | History

The Ukiah area has been the center of life in Mendocino County since 1859 and has supported indigenous populations and other settlers long before that. This heritage provides a rich foundation for cultural development and artistic expression as well as a unique collection of historic artifacts and buildings. The exceptional museums, cultural events, theatre groups, artists, music organizations, and concerts in our community are all testaments to Ukiah’s thriving and vibrant culture.

State Street from
the 1890’s to the 1950’s

Ukiah Motor Car Co circa 1915Changes to the community around us happen gradually so we don’t often notice that the past still exists in our everyday lives. Here are pictures of State Street that show some historic buildings lost to time and others that have endured.
