History
In 1867, George E. Guerne, a young Swiss immigrant arrived in Stumptown. He purchased land and established a subdivision that became Guernewood Park. He constructed and operated a saw mill in Stumptown (later renamed Guerneville).
After the introduction of the railroad into the Russian River valley in the late 1800s, thousands of San Franciscans flocked to the region each summer. Soon, many of the famous big bands started to provide dance music at packed outdoor venues along the river even into the 1950s. Woody Herman, Tommy Dorsey and other famous names were frequent performers during the Big Band era. Hollywood stars were also frequent visitors.
The 2020 United States Census included Guernewood Park in the figures for the Guerneville census-designated place.
