Ono, California an unincorporated community in Shasta County. Ono’s center is on SR A16 (a.k.a. Platina Road), the village’s only access to the rest of the world. It is about 5 miles (8.0 km) from its neighbor, Igo,[1] and about 17 miles (27 km)[2] from Redding, the county seat.

According to tradition, the community was named for the answer ("Oh, no") usually given by a miner to his son when asked if the latter could accompany his father to work.[3] The name might instead be biblical in origin.[4]

Ono is a community in slow decline, which began in the late 1970s when it lost its primary school and post office to is local neighbor, Igo. Ono and Igo share a newsletter available at http://www.igoono.com/ . [citation needed]
