Willow Ranch (formerly, Willowranch) is an unincorporated community in Modoc County, California. It is 33.3 miles (54 km) north-northeast of Alturas, at an elevation of 4731 feet (1442 m).
The Willow Ranch post office opened in 1871, closed in 1882, re-opened in 1883, changed its name to Willowranch in 1896, moved in 1900, and changed its name back to Willow Ranch in 1950.
The original site was about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the present one; the town moved to a place on the railroad line after it reached the area.
