The Rancho Petaluma Adobe, located in Petaluma, is a National Historic Landmark. Its construction started in 1836 by order of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, then Commandant of the San Francisco Presidio. It was the center of a 66,000 acre (270-km²) ranch stretching from Petaluma River to Sonoma Creek. The adobe is considered one of the best preserved buildings of its era in Northern California.
Petaluma is a transliteration of the Coast Miwok phrase péta lúuma which means hill backside and probably refers to Petaluma's proximity to Sonoma Mountain.
Petaluma has a well-preserved, historic city center which includes many buildings that survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

Its where im living right now seems to be an older community too. To be close to where i live.
Tengo buenas referencias de sus cuidados.
i like helping people in needs , i use to help my grandparents before they passed away and now i'd love to help other people.
Small town surrounded by big cities, which have raised the cost quite a bit. Impossible for most to live here. Community events are frequent and the people are kind/welcoming. Beautiful farm land.
Ok, Crowded, overpriced, expensive,,,,roads need repairs badly , too many people on road but it is inside Sonoma county lol
