It’s time we dive into this hidden treasure and explore its beginnings.

History of North Sonoma

The Pomo People first settled here and created their villages along the Russian River. Anglo-American, Russian, and Mexican settlements started to develop in the mid-19th century. 1857 brought the founding of Healdsburg when Harmon Heald purchased the land and eventually the town gained traction with the creation of the Northwest pacific Railroad. Commerce, agriculture, and tourism grew.

Healdsburg boasts charming 19th century architecture, fine dining, boutiques, high-end inns and spas, and of course some of the best North Sonoma wineries.
