HistoryA former town named Navarro, with approximately 1000 people, was founded in the 1860s and located approximately {{Conv|14|miles|}} to the west of the present town, at the mouth of the Navarro River in what is now Navarro River Redwoods State Park.[3] A post office opened there in 1867.[2] In 1902, the mill at the mouth of the river burned down,[8] and the post office closed.[2] A new mill was built that year by G. C. Wendling on the north fork of the Navarro River, at the present location of Navarro, and in 1905 the town of Wendling was founded around the mill.[8] A post office was opened there in 1914.[2] However, in 1916 the Wendling mill was bought by the Navarro Lumber Company, at which point Wendling became known as Navarro Mill or more simply Navarro. To reduce confusion, the dwindling seaside town of Navarro became known as Old Navarro, Navarro Ridge, or Navarro-by-the-sea.[4] The Fort Bragg and Southeastern Railroad connected Wendling (Navarro) with seaport facilities in Albion, California from 1905 to 1930.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{gnis|229429}} {{commons cat}}{{Mendocino County, California}}{{MendocinoCountyCA-geo-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{California's Geographic Names|112}} 3. ^{{citation|title=Preserving history on the Mendocino Coast|journal=The Press Democrat|url=http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20100202/ARTICLES/100209888|first=Glenda|last=Anderson|date=February 2, 2010}}. 4. ^1 2 {{citation|title=Anderson Valley|author=The Anderson Valley Historical Society|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|year=2005|isbn=978-0-7385-3017-8|page=119}}. 5. ^{{cite book | author=Stindt, Fred A.| title=The Northwestern Pacific Railroad: Redwood Empire Route|edition=3rd| publisher=Fred A.
