"The river comes in and the river goes out-this was the central fact that dictated the ebb and flow of life in early Petaluma. For the Petaluma River is not really a flowing river but a tidal arm of San Francisco Bay, and Petalumans, who depended on the waterway for commerce, had to attune themselves to its rhythm."
-Simone Wilson, Images of America, PETALUMA CALIFORNIA
