A Brief History of Graton
One of California's
first schools was established in Graton. In its early days,
this tiny West Sonoma County town consisted mainly of a cannery
and horse stables. Two streets are named for the stable owners
Brush and Gray.
The electric railroads of Santa Rosa and Petaluma connected
to Graton, allowing agricultural products to be shipped throughout
California in addition to providing passenger service. The
fair for passengers was 10 cents to Sebastopol and 25 cents
to Santa Rosa with the passenger trains running on a hourly
basis and freight trains would run on a daily basis. There
was an Indian trail that ran parallel to Graton Road on the
north side. This was used for trips to Bodega Bay for food.
Many Indian artifacts were found in the Graton area.
Graton has changed over the years and the downtown area has been rehabilitated.
Several fine restaurants and shops line the downtown area premium wineries
and vineyards. Nearly 70 percent of Graton residents moved into their
homes in the last decade, and were attracted by its beauty of this quiet
bedroom community.
Recently a bike trail was completed over the old railroad and extends
towards Forestville to the north and Sebastopol to the south. Graton
is also home the Annual Flower Show and Graton Days.
Graton is 3 miles north of Sebastopol on Highway 116 and west on Graton
Road for 1 mile. Location of other cities and communities can be found
