Cleone (formerly, Kanuck) is a census-designated place in Mendocino County, California. It is located 3.25 miles (5.2 km) north-northeast of Fort Bragg on California State Highway 1, at an elevation of 79 feet (24 m). It most likely takes its name from Kelio, a division or village of the Pomo people. The population was 618 at the 2010 census.
The Kanuck post office opened in 1883, changed its name to Cleone in 1883, and closed in 1908. In 1883, a sawmill about of a mile and a half east of the village of Cleone was constructed. Wood products were shipped from a wharf at the place. Railroad cars ran down by gravity from the hill to the chute and were returned by horses.
The main entrance to MacKerricher State Park is in Cleone.
