[edit] Initial assessment

Clearly above a stub, but to advance needs more breadth explaining ecology, geology, history, building boom of the 80s and 90s. Anlace 23:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice but incomplete ;-)

Where is the second hexagonal town layout in the US?? --Nemissimo II 22:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

According to Draper (p.21) it was Detroit, Michigan. Stepheng3 (talk) 23:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Railroad

I believe the railroad serving Cotati in 1870 was the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad. The Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railroad was built a generation later and bypassed Cotati to the west. Thewellman (talk) 07:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I think you're right that the P&SR bypassed Cotati. Draper says the railroad was the San Francisco & Northwestern but includes an image of the San Francisco & North Pacific timetable. I'll fix. Stepheng3 (talk) 12:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
