Port Kenyon is an unincorporated community in Humboldt County, California.[1] It is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Ferndale,[2] at an elevation of 13 feet (4 m).[1]
A post office operated at Port Kenyon from 1886 to 1899 and from 1903 to 1913.[2] The town was founded by John Gardner Kenyon in 1876.[2] The town was initially a major point of shipping for locally-raised dairy products; it also had a fish cannery.[3] After silting of the Salt River and repeated flooding, the port declined in the 1890s.[2]
