Flumeville, now more commonly known as Rollerville or Rollerville Junction, is an archaic placename in Mendocino County, California.[1] It is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-northwest of Point Arena,[2] at an elevation of 190 feet (58 m).[1]

The site where the Flumeville bridge crosses the Garcia River was a Pomo village site called pda'haū, later known as the Manchester ranchería, or Garcia River ranchería.[3] Flumeville was also known as Rollville or Rollerville, or was marked on old maps as "Hoisting Works",[4] and was the site of the Garcia Mill.[5] Lumber mill workers created a massive water wheel and flume to float logs via raised water troughs to the Pacific Ocean.[5] In the early 20th century the very small town of Flumeville (or Rollerville) was a railroad stop.[6] The flume was demolished in 1915.[6]

The former site of Flumeville is now "the turnoff west to Point Arena Lighthouse from Shoreline Highway".[6] Flumeville Bridge and Rollerville Junction Campground (also known as Flumeville Campground) are used by recreational fisherman seeking steelhead trout.[7][8]
