Santa Rosa, CALIFORNIA - Fourth Street - 1940: Santa Rosa is the county seat of Sonoma County, California United States. The 2010 census reported a population of 167,815. Santa Rosa is the largest city in California\'s North Coast, Wine Country and the North Bay. The first known permanent European settlement of Santa Rosa was the homestead of the Carrillo family, in-laws to Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, who settled the Sonoma pueblo and Petaluma area. In the 1830s, during the Mexican period, the family of Maria López de Carrillo built an adobe house on their Rancho Cabeza de Santa Rosa land grant, just east of what later became downtown Santa Rosa. In 1867, the county recognized Santa Rosa as an incorporated city and in 1868 the state officially confirmed the incorporation, making it officially the third incorporated city in Sonoma County, after Petaluma, incorporated in 1858, and Healdsburg, incorporated in 1867. The April 18, 1906, San Francisco Earthquake essentially destroyed the entire downtown, but the city\'s population did not greatly suffer. However, after that period the population growth of Santa Rosa, as with most of the area, was very slow. This Linen Era postcard was published in 1940. It shows a downtown street with many period cars, a fluttering American flag, a Woolworth building, and a Coke Cola sign. The card is in good condition. Stanley A Piltz Company, San Francisco, Calif.
