Cloverdale Hills

The sumptuous sun sets the greens hills simmering under its radiance. Such creatures as could be so fortunate as to call these majestic hills home hop and hammer around the landscape, seemingly unaware of the blessing which nature has bestowed unto them. Set your bare feet on this cool green grass and find a new name for heaven. Cloverdale is a city in Sonoma County, California, United States. This is the farthest city north in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, about 85 miles (135 km) north of San Francisco. Cloverdale began as an early stage stop, known as Markleville, on the Rancho Rincon de Musalacon Mexican grant. In 1856 R. B. Markle and W. J. Miller bought 759 acres (3.1 km2), which included the present site of the town from Johnson Horrell. In 1859, James Abram Kleiser bought Markle's interest, and the town was laid out. The town was incorporated when the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad arrived in 1872. Cloverdale is located in the Wine Country, being part of the Alexander Valley AVA.
