A Brief History of Sebastopol
The first resident of what would become Sebastopol
was Joaquin Carrillo, who built his adobe house on Llano de
Santa Rosa in 1846. Jasper O'Farrell, a surveyor, named the
district Analy (after his sister, Ann) when the township was
established. In the 1850's, Sebastopol was named for the Russian
seaport of Sevastopol, which figured prominently in the Crimean
War being fought overseas
Other early Sebastopol residents were farmers and tradesmen. The primary
crop was Gravenstein apples (which make the best apple pie). More settlers
moved into the areas as the Gold Rush fizzled.
Famed horticulturist Luther Burbank established his 18-acre
Gold Ridge Environmental Farm here in the late 1800's. A portion of this
landmark is currently being restored. In 1890 the Northwestern Pacific
Railroad opened a branch to Sebastopol. In 1904, an electric train carried
passengers between Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Sebastopol and as far as
Forestville. Many of the charming Victorians they built in the early
1900's are still here. Until a few years ago, Sebastopol was one of the
few places that had train running down the middle of the main street.
The topography is a diverse mix of rolling hills, redwood forests and
breathtaking wine country views
Known as the Gravenstein Apple Capital of the World, Sebastopol is also
in the heart of a premium wine-producing region. Newer housing developments
including condominiums and apartments have been established in recent
years. Sebastopol has good public schools, including a centrally located
high school. It is also the home of the Apple Blossom Festival and Cajun
Festival. Major employers include O'Reilly and Associates, Safeway, Analy
High School, Sebastopol Union School and Palm Drive Hospital.
Sebastopol is located 7 miles west of Santa Rosa, 13 miles east of Bodega
Bay and the Pacific Ocean, 10 miles from the Russian River, and 56 miles
north of San Francisco on State Highway 116.
