A Brief History of Geyserville
Named after The Geysers in Northern Sonoma County, Geyserville is the
home of world-class wineries.
Grizzly bear hunter William Bell Elliott discovered The Geysers
in April 1847 when he came upon a narrow canyon of hot springs. These
were not true geysers but a natural wonder just the same.
In the 1920s, attempts were made to tap into The Geysers as a power
source. Unfortunately, the endeavor failed due to equipment problems,
and no further attempts were made until the 1970s. In 1990, a project
that involved injecting Santa Rosa water into The Geysers via a pipeline
was set in motion and is now almost complete.
The Geyserville tourism industry evolved in the mid-1800s as word traveled
fast about the hot springs, drawing many sightseers. At first an informal
travel destination, soon fancier restaurants, hotels and stores were
established and the settlers began to prosper. In addition to tourism,
agriculture continues to be a vital part of the city's economy. Farmers
have planted many crops throughout the past century, with vineyards predominating
since the "wine boom" of the 1970s.
In addition to wineries offering tours and tasting, Geyserville offers
water recreation with Lake Sonoma and the Russian River close by. Residents
enjoy the Geyserville's small-town charm and peaceful countryside views.
Geyserville is approximately 8 miles north of Healdsburg on Highway 101
and 24 miles west of Calistoga (Napa County) on Highway 128. Location
