}}Westport (formerly Beall's Landing) is an unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California.[1] It is located on California State Route 1 near the Pacific Ocean[2] {{convert|13|mi|km|0}} north of Fort Bragg,[3] at an elevation of 125 feet (38 m).[1]

The first post office at Westport opened in 1879.[3] Originally called Beall's Landing in honor of Samuel Beall, its first white settler, the place was renamed in 1877 by James T. Rodgers who built a timber loading facility for the name to contrast with his home town of Eastport, Maine.[3]

As of July 2010 the population of Westport is 60.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}} It has a community store with gas pumps, and several inns.[4]

Westport and its vicinity have been the locale of several disappearances and inexplicable homicides over the years, including:

  • Linda Lee Lovell and Stephen Locke Packard's disappearance in June 1974;[5]
  • the Christine and Craig Langford disappearance in January 1981;[6][7]
  • Harlan Sutherland, homicide victim whose remains found on 1 March 1987;[8][9]
  • Clyde William Stanley's remains, found in March 1988;[10]
  • Donald James Cavanaugh and David Virgil Neily disappeared in 2005 and 2006 from the same address;[11]
  • Matthew Coleman, murdered in August 2011;[12][13]
  • Abigail, Ciera, Devonte, Markis, Hannah, and Jeremiah Hart, all murdered by their adoptive mothers on March 26, 2018 when their SUV intentionally drove over a cliff in a mass murder-suicide.[14] The bodies of Devonte and Hannah were never found.[15] Both perpetrators were known to have abused their six children before the crash.[16]
