Orrs Springs (formerly, Orr's Hot Sulphur Springs and Orrs) is a set of springs around which grew a resort and a stagecoach station in Mendocino County, California.[2] It is located 15 miles (24 km) almost directly north of Boonville,[3] at an elevation of 1001 feet (305 m).[1] However, it is accessible from Ukiah by following Orr Springs Rd.
The Orrs post office operated from 1889 to 1911 and from 1915 to 1933.[3] The name honored Samuel Orr, an early settler.[3] Orr's son established a stage station and a resort that still exists as Orr Hot Springs Resort.[3]
