Little River Cemetery is located in Little River, Mendocino County, California, along the Mendocino coast. Established around 1863, it is operated by the public Mendocino-Little River Cemetery District, a special district formed by the County Board of Supervisors in 1950. ([mendocinocemeteries.org](https://www.mendocinocemeteries.org/little-river-cemetery?utm_source=openai)) The first known burial is Katie Pullen, a one-year-old who died of measles in 1864 after traveling with her family from Maine to California. The cemetery contains more than 850 known burials, although some older interments were never recorded and some wooden markers have disappeared. New plot purchases have been closed since 2010 because of inaccuracies in mapping and record keeping. For burial information or record assistance, contact the cemetery district at (707) 937-2010.
