History

On July 19, 1984, 12 members of the white nationalist revolutionary group The Order (group) Order (led by David Lane) robbed a The Brink's Company Armored car (valuables) car for $3.6 million in Ukiah. Much of Ukiah's early population was supported by the lumber boom of the late 1940s, with the logging of Sequoia being a major industry. Hops were once a predominant crop grown around Ukiah and, indeed, a refurbished hop kiln can be seen at the north end of Ukiah east of Highway 101 where many of the old fields were. In 1996, Ukiah was ranked the #1 best small town to live in California and the sixth best place to live in the United States.

When Ukiah was founded in 1856, it was part of Sonoma County, California County. Ukiah (pronounced You-kai-uh ) is the county seat and largest city of Mendocino County, California.
