Ravenwood, California is a coastal town,
witch neighbors Madrone Woodlands and is southwest of Larkspur,
California near Mount Tamalpais, at an elevation of 43 feet (13 m).
As of 2009, the city's estimated population was 13,131. With its tree-lined
streets, this quaint town is framed by beautiful redwoods. Established in the
1850's, the architecture is reminiscent of Maine with its grand Victorians and
quaint Saltbox cottages. Vast forests of majestic redwoods make up our
picturesque backyard. The town’s almost magical charm and sweeping beauty is a
must see!
It has
been suggested that at various times the area was once the territory of
different Native American tribes, which made use of the woods. The
uncertainty about which Native Americans were present on what is now as Deadwood
Grove is due to its position as a cultural and ethnic frontier area, and
lacking large, permanent villages, which might be easily identified as to
tribal affiliation.
