A Brief History of Rohnert Park
Rohnert Park is the third largest city in
Sonoma County and was built from scratch in the late 1950s.
The area was originally part of a land grant from General Vallejo
in 1844 called the Rancho Cotate. Gradually, the Rancho was
broken up into smaller areas that were sold separately.
As in everywhere throughout Sonoma County, Rohnert Park had a small tribe
of Indians who lived in a village called Kotate just north of the city.
This Indian group was part of the Coast Miwok Indians. The valley was
an ideal place for grazing and farming. Waldo Emerson Rohnert purchased
his ranch in 1929.
He transformed his ranch into the largest seed growing facility in the
west in association with C. C. Morse Company. Later it was transformed
into a experimental seed farm second only Luther Burbank's famous gardens
in Santa Rosa and was one of the first planned communities in the United
States. It was incorporated on August 28, 1962.
Present-day Rohnert Park has an array of churches, stores and parks in
its neighborhoods. Rohnert Park also has a performing arts and civic
center. The city is home to Sonoma State University. Hewlett Packard
and Pacific Bell are located here. Rohnert Park is within commuting distance
to San Francisco and has a reputation for being energetic, innovative,
and popular with families and retirees.
