Sonoma Overview

Sonoma, CA has a population of 32,678 based on the most recent Census Bureau estimated of July 2018. Sonoma, located in the California’s famed wine country, is the heart of Sonoma County, in the Sonoma Valley, and its greater metropolitan area of nearly 500,000 residents. Sonoma is a heartbeat away from the San Francisco-Oakland area, which is located a mere 44 miles due south along U.S. Highway 101. Sonoma is adjacent to another famous wine making region, Napa Valley, CA, which is 14 miles East along California Highway 121.

What is the history of Sonoma?

The history of Sonoma is the history of California. It was founded as a Spanish mission, Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma, founded on July 4, 1823. Although the founding of the city shares a birthday with nation, it has been the home to indigenous peoples as far back as 12,000 years. The city is a mix of Native American, Spanish, and European cultures and heritages and a good mix and blend of all of them. The city became an American one on July 9, 1846, when U.S. Navy Lt. Joseph Warren Revere (a grandson of Revolutionary hero Paul Revere) planted the U.S. flag in the town. It became an official U.S. city April 26, 1862 and today is the center of Sonoma Valley culture, heritage, and commerce.
