"We would like to express our deepest thanks
to you for all of your recent efforts in selling
both of our mother's houses. However, your professionalism
and honestly (as well as you hand holding) made
our experience enjoyable. We still can't figure
out how you managed to place two properties on
the market at about the same time, find buyers,
and have them complete escrow within one week
of each other."

A Brief History of Occidental
The town of Occidental was founded in 1876. Occidental is tucked in a valley between the Pacific Ocean and Sebastopol in the unincorporated area of Western Sonoma County. An abundance of giant redwoods made logging the the primary occupation of the area's first settlers.
The completion of the North Pacific Coast Railroad in 1876 enabled the
loggers to transport lumber to San Francisco. It also brought furthered
development in Occidental by bringing more people to the town.
Occidental was also known as Howard's Station. This forest village
soon became a popular summer vacation spot. It was warm enough for San
Franciscans to escape the fog and cool enough to also attract visitors
from the inland valley. Enterprising local women established a tradition
of fine Italian cooking as they prepared meals for loggers, rail workers
and passengers.
Rich in history and culture, Occidental retains its small-town
charm. It currently features several Italian restaurants, quaint bed
and breakfasts, cafes and coffeehouses. This arts and crafts enclave
is highlighted in the annual Sonoma County Art Trails Tour. The Occidental
Redwood Arts Council presents concerts featuring local and world-renowned
performers. The Occidental Community Choir performs its original music
here several times a year.
Occidental is located west of Sebastopol and east of the Pacific Ocean.
It can be accessed via Sebastopol, Monte Rio or Santa Rosa. Location
