Petaluma, California, located in scenic Sonoma County, has numerous historic landmarks. The name of the city is a translation of an American Indian phrase meaning "hill backside," which probably referred to Petaluma's proximity to Sonoma Mountain.

Petaluma, situated at the end of the Petaluma River, enjoys a mild climate. It was a top destination during the gold rush of the late 1800s, when boats ferried goods up and down the Petaluma River to San Francisco. Petaluma's growth can also be attributed to its agricultural production, which has been influenced by grain milling and the chicken industry.
