A Brief History of Forestville

The town of Forestville was founded in 1869 and named after saloonkeeper A.J. Forrister who owned 100 acres. Originally, Forestville was spelled with two R's.

Forestville was first known for its chair factory, and then for the electric train (Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railroad) that extended the tracks from Sebastopol to Forestville. Major Isaac Sullivan produced the first chairs, made of split oak and deer hide seats, and Samuel Faudre established a chair factory in Forestville in the 1860's. The train expanded possibilities for passenger travel and the transport of goods such as apples to the Sebastopol Canneries. Forestville soon became a popular train stop for loggers and vacationers. However, passenger service halted in the 1930s after the railroad was purchased by Northwestern Pacific.

Today, Forestville maintains its rural atmosphere. There are no motels in Forestville, but otherwise a diverse business climate from small mom-and-pop stores to world-renowned winegrowers. A cross-section of the community includes entrepreneurs, craftspeople, writers, artists and educators.

Forestville is located in the Wine Country approximately 70 miles north of San Francisco and can be accessed on Highway 116 continuing north from Sebastopol. Continuing along Highway 116 will lead to Guerneville. Location of other cities and communities can be found on the Map of Sonoma County.
