Sausalito History

For thousands of years, Sausalito was home to the Coastal Miwok Native Americans. They lived peacefully in the area until the arrival of the Spanish, Mexican, and Euro-Americans in the early 19th century. Sausalito became a Mexican land grant at that time and turned from a quiet village into a bustling and vibrant center for extravagant fiestas hosted by local Vaqueros and dons.
 
When ferry service was established from San Francisco, Sausalito once again morphed, this time into a Victorian village. Wealthy San Franciscans and British colonists summered here in expansive estates overlooking the fleet of British grain ships that filled the bay below.
 
Sausalito again changed with the advent of the rail line from the north, turning into a transit hub and bustling waterfront city. Over the ensuing years, Sausalito felt the effects of Prohibition, World War II, and eventually the establishment of the city as a haven for artists. The area is still highly desirable for creative people, and Sausalito, CA Luxury Homes continue to attract people from all walks of life.
