[edit] History
There were formerly two Coast Miwok villages in the area: one (called Kennekono) sited near the current town and another (called Suwutenne) further north.[3]
In 1843, Captain Stephen Smith established the first West Coast lumber mill near Bodega. Saint Teresa of Avila Church was built in 1859 and dedicated in 1861.
Watson School, a registered historic place managed by the Sonoma County Regional Parks Department, is located just east of town.
