  • Conclusions and Recommendations
    CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SWEENEY RIDGE THE ROLE OF PORTOLÀ The “Historical Significance of the Discovery of San Francisco Bay” chapter of the Sweeney Ridge section of this study makes the case that Gaspar de Portolá’s discovery of the San Francisco Bay was one of the most important events of California and, in- deed, western history. The find became a central consideration among the Spanish as they began colonization of Alta California. It marked the beginning of the end for the hegemony of the native Californians, who had been here, inhabiting the land without interference, for thousands of years. When one considers the meaningful efforts the National Park Service has expended on the Anza Trail, it becomes a question - - why hasn’t Portolá received this kind of attention? Portolá was first to enter Alta California by land. His expedition resulted in the initiation of the Spanish settlement here. Anza’s exploration was certainly as amazing, considering the hardships of his overland journeys. His trail blazing tried to link Alta California with New Spain. In his second expedition, he took with him the original settlers destined for San Francisco. However, within five years his Anza Trail was closed by the Yuma Indians. Portolá not only already discovered the San Francisco Bay but had additionally helped the Franciscans establish the San Diego and Monterey missions. It seems that his legacy should be as much understood as Anza’s. At Sweeney Ridge the National Park Service possesses the very spot at which the mo- mentous discovery was made. While surrounded by urban growth, the Ridge remains open space and available for a variety of interpretive projects.

She was my second celebrity encounter since moving back to Northern California last year, the first being a certain celebrity chef cutting me off on Highway 12. I later learned that Ms. Hedren’s appearance is an annual tradition, and that some of the money she makes from it goes to support her extensive charity work. Though I’ve never seen the film in its entirety, I learned the story through multiple trips to the restaurant and the Saint Teresa of Avila Church in Bodega. Even I, who spent the majority of my life in Middle Tennessee, feel local pride knowing these beautiful places are immortalized in such a loved and influential film.

  • Highway 1, Valley Ford California Valley Ford
    Highway 1, Valley Ford California by Susan Teel - 2015 The town of Valley Ford is situated on the Estero Americano, four miles from its mouth. Here the old Spanish and Indian trail leading from the interior ranchos to Tomales Bay and the coast crossed the Estero, hence the name which was given to the farm adjoining and subsequently to the town. At the point the trail forked and the one which led up to the valley, was the route travelled from Bodega Rancho to Sausalito. The Indians in the back country used to journey on this trail to the coast at Tomales Bay a few times a year for the purpose of feasting on shell fish and gathering shells for the manufacture of Indian money. After 1857, the Indians ceased these travels. Stephen L. Fowler and James E. Fowler arrived in San Francisco in May, 1849. After many hardships, chance brought them to Big Valley, better known as the valley of the Estero Americano, then an unfenced wilderness. They settled where the trail crossed the Estero and purchased F.G. Blume’s six hundred and forty acres of land lying between the Ebabias Creek and the Estero. In July, they built a house two hundred yards from the ford. Whitehead Fowler came to Valley Ford in 1852. In May, 1854, Stephen C. Fowler and his wife, the parents of Stephen, James and Whitehead Fowler, arrived with their other three sons, John H., Benjamin and Nathaniel Fowler. Mrs. Fowler was the first female resident of the town. The Fowlers were joined by Thomas Smith who had been engaged in running a saw mill.
