THE CITY & DEPARTMENT
The City of Fort Bragg currently has a population of approximately 7,200 persons. The City also provides shopping and employment opportunities to an additional 15,000 in the surrounding area and serves as a subregional center. Fort Bragg’s beginnings as a military post go back to the 1850s, but the community began its present character of development in 1885, when a lumber company was established on the site of the old fort. The City’s historical reliance on the lumber and fishing industries is gradually being supplemented by other sectors of the economy, including tourism and government. The Community Development Department has four full time positions. The Department engages in long-range and comprehensive planning, develops special City projects, and undertakes development review, economic development, affordable housing, code enforcement, and grant writing and administration responsibilities for the City.
