Petaluma Welcomes You!
Welcome to the riverfront Victorian town of Petaluma! Few cities of our size (approximately 50,000) in America have earned the varied reputation that Petaluma has claimed. We have gone from being one of California's largest cities (1860's) to the World's Egg Basket (early 1900's) to home of the World's Wristwrestling Championships. We're also known as a Restaurant Capital with more than 140 restaurants and delis offering fine dining to picnic lunches. Antique hunting? Petaluma's a treasure trove.

Downtown Petaluma is Historic and Alive!
The heart of Petaluma is its Victorian Historic Downtown, miraculously untouched by the 1906 earthquake. With more than 600 businesses and 65 historic properties, Petaluma offers many colorful family oriented events that maintain the living history feel of life in a real Victorian town: the Butter and Egg Days Parade, Antiques Faire, Quilt Show, etc.
