Healdsburg, California

Healdsburg is a city in Sonoma County, in the North Bay region of California. It lies on the Russian River where three American Viticultural Areas meet: Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley. The population was 11,340 at the 2020 census. Harmon Heald founded the town in 1857 on part of the former Rancho Sotoyome, laying out a central plaza that became the core of downtown. It was incorporated in 1867, and the railroad arrived in 1872. For much of the 20th century Healdsburg's economy rested on prunes and other orchard crops; since the 1970s vineyards have replaced the orchards, and the city's economy now depends heavily on wine and tourism.
