Healdsburg Sonoma County California

Healdsburg, Sonoma County, PO and incorporated city, 16 miles northwest of Santa Rosa, is on the line of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad, 38 miles from the southern terminus at Donahue, and 72 miles from San Francisco, and is connected by stage and good roads with the Geysers and with the newly opened and rich quicksilver mines of Pine Flat and other localities in Sonora and Lake counties.

The town occupies a most lovely site on the west side of Russian River, in the midst of a grove of native trees, composed of stately oaks, graceful firs and bright colored madroflas, to which the most ornamental of cultivated trees and those bearing fruit have been added. It is well built, containing numerous schools and churches, and being in the midst of an extensive and very fertile section, its permanent prosperity is assured.

 One newspaper, the Russian River Flag, is published weekly.
