Cloverdale, California Real Estate, Land, History and General Information

Cloverdale was founded in 1859 by James Abram Kleiser and is one of the fastest growing cities in Sonoma County. This former lumber town is farthest north in the county, bordering the Mendocino County line. Until the 1990s, Highway 101 tapered to a narrow country road that went through downtown Cloverdale.

To offset a potential loss of business for local merchants after revamping the freeway, a downtown plaza with tree-lined streets was created to revitalize the area. The plaza is within walking distance for many Cloverdale residents and provides a friendly small-town environment with big city amenities. With its relatively inexpensive housing, Cloverdale attracts both retirees and young families. It is the home of Clover Springs, a retirement community recently built by Del Webb for residents 55 and older.

The wine country is to the south, east and west. Cloverdale recently built a new wine and visitor center and has a 70-acre Regional Park with Russian River frontage. Lake Sonoma to the west offers additional water recreation such as boating, fishing and water skiing.

Cloverdale is becoming a popular tourist destination. There is a host of annual events including the Olde Time fiddle contest followed by the Cloverdale Citrus Fair, Black Bart festival, Street Celebration and Classic Car and Motorcycle Show. Cloverdale has slightly warmer temperatures than other Sonoma County cities. It is surrounded by mountains and located in the north end of the Alexander Valley vineyards.

Cloverdale is the last city traveling north on Highway 101 and is located 17 miles north of Santa Rosa, 86 miles north of San Francisco and approximately 25 miles east of the Pacific Ocean.
