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

Healdsburg, one of Sonoma County's older cities, was originally home to the Pomo Indians. However, the years following the Gold Rush brought many new settlers who established farms and trading posts. Healdsburg is named for Harmon Heald, an entrepreneur from Ohio who built a store and a post office in what is now downtown Healdsburg. Present-day Healdsburg continues to thrive while maintaining the small-town charm of a bygone era.

The economic heart of Northern Sonoma County, Healdsburg is a tourist haven with no shortage of family activities. The nearby Russian River and Lake Sonoma offer water recreation including fishing, boating, canoe trips and swimming. Healdsburg is also in the vicinity of Dry Creek and Alexander Valley, whose vineyards produce fine wine. Many local wineries offer tasting and tours. Another favorite pastime is bicycling on wine country roads that offer challenging but scenic rides.

The rich cultural heritage of Healdsburg is preserved by the historic town plaza with its quaint storefronts, Queen Anne period houses and buildings influenced by Mediterranean styles. Downtown Healdsburg features many newly renovated family-owned shops, cafés and restaurants in and around the central town plaza. There are enough antique stores to fill a whole day browsing accessories of yesteryear (referred to as "antiquing"). Various galleries and museums showcase fine art of every kind. Throughout the year, there are a variety of cultural events like the Wine and Art Festival and jazz concerts.

Nestled between Fitch Mountain to the east and a low range of mountains to the west, Healdsburg is located 75 miles north of San Francisco (15 miles north of Santa Rosa), off Highway 101.
