Orrs Springs (formerly, Orr's Hot Sulphur Springs and Orrs) is an unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California.[1] It is located 15 miles (24 km) almost directly north of Boonville,[2] 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.[2] The name honored Samuel Orr, an early settler.[2] Orr's son established a stage station and a resort that still exists as Orr Hot Springs Resort.[2]
