City of Lakeport

The City of Lakeport is located on the northwest shore of Clear Lake. Lakeport is the regional center of commerce and governmental activity in Lake County and a major access point for recreational boating on Clear Lake. State Highways 20 and 175 provide access from the west to the Lakeport area. Lampson Field Airport is located less than two miles from the south City limits, with a 3,700-foot lighted runway, aircraft fuel and service. 

Lakeport was incorporated in 1888, but the history of Lake County's oldest town goes back at least another 40 years to the Gold Rush era of the late 1840's. Miners beading to and from the gold fields began passing through Lake County in 1847 and 1848. Many of whom returned at the conclusion of the Gold Rush to settle permanently. The city's population in 1888 was 700 people.

There are six business centers in the Lakeport area, including the historic downtown area which was designated a California Main Street Demonstration City in 1995. The Lakeport area supports about 45 percent of the county's jobs. Business and industry will find Lakeport provides a number of benefits and amenities, including adequate and reliable services, a pro-business community, affordable housing, and a variety of build-able sites.

Cobb Mountain

Located in the Mayacamas Mountain Range with elevations of 2,400 to 4,722 feet, Cobb is a "Four-Season Wonderland." Winding one's way up to Cobb Mountain inspires a feeling of awe as the trees become more majestic with each rise in elevation. This majestic forest of pine, oak, fir, madrone and cedar is also a natural habitat for dogwood, redbud and wild lilac.

One of the last affordable bedroom communities to the Sonoma/Napa valleys, the Cobb area has seen a tremendous growth in the last few years. A one hour commute has made it possible for many young families to purchase homes in the surrounding areas and many of the older summer homes have been remodeled to accommodate year round living. Parents are delighted to find that Cobb Elementary School is rated among the highest in the state.
