Albion - Peace & Quiet in a Dramatic Setting!

by CelticSu - last update: Jan 3, 2009

1st Logging Operation on the Mendocino Coast

The Albion Bridge from the Village
Not much more than a hamlet, Albion began with a man and his saw mill. A sea captain, William Richardson from England, started the first saw mill on the Mendocino coast (but not the last!) in 1853.
Albion from the Bridge

Charming little Village

Albion consists of a handful of homes overlooking the Albion River & the Albion River Bridge (which was constructed with wood salvaged during WWII), several stores, a post office, a volunteer fire station, and a commercial fishing operation.
