Healdsburg is a city located in Sonoma County, California, United States. At the 2020 census, the city had a population of 11,340.
Healdsburg is centered on a 19th-century plaza. [8]
Early inhabitants of the local area included the Pomo people, who constructed villages in open areas along the Russian River. [9] Anglo-American and Russian settlement may have commenced in the mid-19th century, with a settlement nearby, established downstream along the Russian River near Graton, in 1836, and later the Rancho Sotoyome land grant, in 1844. [10]
In 1857, Harmon Heald, an Ohio businessman who had been squatting on Rancho Sotoyome since 1850, purchased part of the rancho—giving the city its official founding date. [1] In 1867, Heald's eponymous small town was incorporated. [9] Healdsburg is located within the former township of Mendocino. The San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad reached Healdsburg in 1872. [11]
Farming, especially orchards and truck farms, was common within the present city limits from at least the 1890s to 1940s. [12]
The first commercial development of the seasoning lemon pepper was in Healdsburg in 1967. [13]
The city has a total area of 4.464 sq mi (11.6 km2), of which 4.457 sq mi (11.5 km2) is land and 0.007 sq mi (0.0 km2) is water. The total area is 0.15% water. [14] It lies on the Russian River, near a point used as a crossing of the river since the 1850s that is now the site of the Healdsburg Memorial Bridge. [15]
Foss Creek traverses the city from north to south, flowing into Dry Creek near the U.S. 101 Central Healdsburg interchange.
