Sebastopol, California

The town of Sebastopol filled up when the gold rush hit in the 1850's. It started out being a small trade center for the farmers in the region. In the early 1900's the town was hit by a fierce earthquake which left the buildings to rubble. The town bounced back and even though the other towns around were thriving with business the Sebastopol residential areas survived.

If you ever get a chance to visit this California town, I would highly recommend it!
