Sonoma

The City of Sonoma is a small, historic community of some 9,000 residents. Located in the heart of the Wine Country, Sonoma is populated with world-class wineries and scenic vineyards. Sonoma's local economy thrives from agriculture, tourism, and public services. Sonoma serves as the economic hub of Sonoma Valley.

The City of Sonoma is the home of the Mission San Francisco de Solano, which was established in 1823. The pueblo (or town) of Sonoma was first recognized in 1835. On June 14, 1846, Sonoma was declared the capital of the "Bear Flag Republic" in a revolt against Mexico's control of California. The town's status as the nominal capital of California lasted 25 days. Sonoma incorporated as a city (for the second time) in 1881.

Sonoma is located in Southeastern Sonoma County in the San Francisco Bay area on State Route 12. Sonoma is about 50 miles northeast of San Francisco and 20 miles southeast of Santa Rosa.
