The Sea Ranch; translated from the Spanish "Del Mar Ranch;" occupies the northwest corner of Sonoma County and is renowned for its architecture and environmental sensitivity. The development of a second-home community in 1965 was just one more chapter in a long history that began in 1846. The Sea Ranch is part of the German Rancho; the most northern coastal Mexican land grant; which was confirmed by the United States following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. It was home to German cattlemen; loggers; and an early-20th-century Russian Baptist colony. Over the years; shepherds; World War II soldiers; and bootleggers have called it home. Early maps and photographs tell the history of the area; and contemporary photographs reveal remnants of historic buildings and sites on the current Sea Ranch landscape.

Its more something to have sitting out for guests or to use as a conversation starter. That being said. it is filled with a lot of fun historical information and picture. Its really interesting to see how things have changed over the years. Highly recommend this book for anyone that appreciates their citys roots.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great pictures and history of a Milwaukee neighborhood we really enjoy!By BorisLots of great pictures going back a hundred years or more of a fantastic neighborhood in milwaukee. From Chicago and we recently bought a beautiful old Victorian house on Jackson with the plan to rent it out eventually. but as weve been preparing the house and coming up a lot weve enjoyed the area so much Im not sure we ever will. Very fun and interesting to have books like this that show and explain much of the history of this area and we love the fact that many of the beautiful old houses and buildings have been preserved. Highly recommend this and the milwaukee mafia one also.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Brady street bookBy Joseph petkusGreat book. Lots of old pictures of the neighborhood
