Napa In Depth

Location

The city of Napa is the largest city and county seat of Napa County, California. It is the principal city of the Napa County Metropolitan Statistical Area. Located above San Pablo Bay in the Bay Area, Napa County is between Sonoma County to the West and Solano County to the East.

History

The City of Napa was founded by Nathan Coombs in 1847. It was not the plan of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. He had paid to survey for a township down river at Soscol Landing where riverboats could turn around. The first business establishment in the town was a saloon built by Harrison Pierce, a former miller at the Bale Grist Mill. Napa's first general store was opened a year later in 1848 by Joseph P. Thompson. The first record of a ship navigating the river was the Susana in 1842. John Sutter's schooner the Sacramento landed in 1844 to pick up a load of lime and deliver passengers. By 1850 the Dolphin became the first passenger steamship to navigate the Napa River in order to open another path of commerce.

In the mid-1850s, Napa's Main Street rivaled that of many larger cities, with as many as 100 saddle horses tied to the fences on an average afternoon. John Patchett opened the first commercial winery in the county in 1859. The vineyard and wine cellar were located in an area that is now within the city limits of Napa.

As agricultural and wine interests developed north of the city limits, much of the light industry, banking, commercial and retail activity in the county evolved within the city of Napa and in earlier times along the Napa River through the historic downtown.

Other cities and towns to the north within the county flourished due to the rapidly expanding popularity of the county's wine industry. While the region gained worldwide fame as a desirable tourist destination, Napa languished while tourists bypassed the city. Downtown Napa finally began to recover and emerge from a long economic slumber in the 2000s, triggered by a significant growth in Main Street restaurants and hotels. The redevelopment of First and Main streets and the Napa Mill complex helped to stimulate investments along the Napa riverfront. On August 24, 2014, the Napa area was struck by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake centered 3.7 miles northwest of nearby American Canyon.

Demographics

There are currently approximately 78,925 people living in the city of Napa. The population density 4,439 per square mile. The median age of resident in the city is 38.4, which is slightly higher than the state average of 35.6 and equal to the national average of 37.4. Most households are families of 2.69. The majority of residents are English speaking, with the next commonly spoken language being Spanish. The workforce is primarily made up of blue collar jobs, with roughly 35% of the force being white collar positions.

Weather

Napa County is renowned for its Mediterranean climate, which makes it the perfect grape growing conditions. The long growing season is marked by sunny, warm and dry days followed by cool evenings, an ideal combination for allowing grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. On average, there are 260 sunny days per year in Napa, California. The July high is around 86 degrees. The January low is 36. Sperling's comfort index for Napa is an 81 out of 100, where a higher score indicates a more comfortable year-around climate.

Military

Neighboring Fairfield is home to the Travis Air Force Base, which is under the operational control of the Air Mobility Command. It is located just 3 miles east of the main business district in Fairfield. The 60th Air Mobility Wing is the largest wing in the Air Force’s AMC command, and is the host unit at Travis AFB. Travis AFB handles more cargo and passengers through its airport than any other military terminal in the nation. The base has had a major impact on the Solano County / Napa County communities, as many military families and veterans have chosen to make the area their permanent home. It is also the largest employer in the entire county and greatly helps the area’s overall economic stability.

Neighborhoods

There are a variety of neighborhoods in the city, each with its own culture and type of resident. The downtown area is busy and bustling, residential single family neighborhoods to funky artist communities, whereas the outlying areas of opulent Silverado and Napa Valleys provide a slower, more relaxed lifestyle. The latter neighborhoods boast beautiful, picturesque mansion estate homes out in the rolling vineyard hills of the North California countryside. While often more expensive, these homes have incredible views and typically more acreage than the homes closer to the city center.

Education

There are numerous schools located throughout the city for children to attend. Napa Valley Unified School District serves the City of Napa. Napa Valley Unified School District has an enrollment of over 18,479 in 23 schools. There are also parochial schools, pre-schools, and day care centers in the area. Over 30 colleges and universities within the Bay Area and Central Valley are within easy commuting distance from Napa.

Real Estate

There is a wide range of homes available to buy or rent in Napa. The median sales price is approximately $556,250. A majority of the available homes are single-family homes, built during the mid-late 20th century. Napa’s quality of life, culture and proximity to Northern California's attractions all make it a prime location to live.
