Duncans Mills, California Real Estate, Land, History and General Information
Duncans Mills was once an important part of the Russian River logging industry. Today it is a quaint town with simple charm and surrounded by forest, rivers and creeks.
This former lumber town gets its name from the lumber mill built by Samuel and Alexander Duncan in the mid-1800s. Originally part of the Don Muniz Land Grant, it was the railroad that put Duncans Mills on the map. The arrival of the railroad in 1876 introduced more visitors and made it possible to ship large quantities of lumber. At the time, Duncans Mills consisted of a hotel, post office and four saloons. Little has changed on this popular stop on the way to the coast, except that the saloons have been replaced with wine country specialty shops and a fine restaurant.
The railroad ceased in the 1920s with the near depletion of trees, a fire that spread from nearby Guerneville to the Pacific Coast, and the growing use of the automobile. Today there are remnants of the good old days with original railroad cars from the Northwest Pacific Railroad and a depot for the visitor to explore.
Duncans Mills is located 7 miles west of Guerneville on Highway 116 and 5 miles west of Highway 1 and the Pacific Ocean.
