California National Forest
California National Forest was established in California by the U.S. Forest Service on July 2, 1908 with 967,949 acres (3,917.15 km2) from parts of Trinity National Forest and Stony Creek National Forest (Executive Order 907, T. Roosevelt).[1][2] On July 12, 1932 it was renamed Mendocino National Forest by Executive Order 5885 of Herbert Hoover "...in order to avoid the confusion growing out of the State and a national forest therein having the same name.[1][3]
