Its well-preserved city center on the Petaluma River includes many historical buildings and Victorian mansions that survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The name Petaluma is a transliteration of the Coast Miwok village name Péta Lúuma, which was originally located near the present-day borders of the city of Petaluma, meaning hill backside.
