Hardy (formerly, Hardyville and Hardy Creek)[2] is an unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California.[1] It is located on California State Route 1 near the Pacific coast[3] 5.25 miles (8.4 km) north of Westport,[2] at an elevation of 23 feet (7 m).[1]
A post office operated at Hardy from 1902 to 1915.[2] The name honors R.A. Hardy, who owned a wharf nearby.[2] The mill at Hardy Creek (which was around the point from Juan Creek) was part of the Cottoneva Lumber Co. at Rockport. The mill had a wharf and a railroad. The town had a large hotel. The mill was operated by E. T. Dusenbury, one of the owners of the Cottoneva Lumber Co. The mill was destroyed by fire and was never rebuilt.
