Monte Rio, California Real Estate, Land, History and General Information
In 1876, the railroad reached Monte Rio, linking the Russian River town to outlying areas. The lumber mill was the chief commercial activity. In 1910 the Northwestern Pacific Railroad completed its standard gauge line which went into Monte Rio. This new line introduced more tourists. The hotel business boomed, and dance halls and saloons were established. As the tourist travel increased, so did the population. The population in 1910 reached approximately 15,000.
When the lumber industry faltered, the existing lumber mills began to close and Monte Rio almost became a ghost town.
Today Monte Rio is home to primarily permanent residences and traces of the railroad and its history is long gone. Monte Rio is also the home of the Bohemian Grove gathering, which attracts prominent figures in July of each year. During the heavy rains, Monte Rio is susceptible to flooding when the Russian River overflows its banks.
Monte Rio is 4 miles west Guerneville on Highway 116 and 7 miles north of Occidental.
