Empire was once a small place, or "settlement," located in Mendocino County, California. A "former settlement" means it was once a populated area, but it no longer exists as a town or community today. Think of it like a ghost town, but perhaps even less remains.

Where Was Empire?

Empire was found along the South Fork of the Eel River. This spot was about 7 miles (11 kilometers) east-southeast of a town called Mendocino. It sat at an elevation of 1,339 feet (408 meters) above sea level.

When Did Empire Disappear?

Even though Empire is no longer a settlement, it was still shown on maps as recently as 1952. This tells us that it was recognized as a place for quite some time before it faded away.
