'''Napa County''' ({{IPAc-en|audio=En-us-napa.ogg|'|n|æ|p|ə}}) is a [[County (United States)|county]]
Napa County comprises the Napa, CA [[Metropolitan Statistical Area]], which is also included in the [[San Jose, California|San Jose]]-[[San Francisco]]-[[Oakland, California|Oakland]], CA [[San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA Combined Statistical Area|Combined Statistical Area]]. It is one of four [[North Bay (San Francisco Bay Area)|North Bay]] counties.<ref name="landis"/>
Napa County, once the producer of many different crops, is known today for its [[Napa Valley AVA|regional wine industry]]. Napa County rose to the first rank of wine regions, along with France, when local wineries [[Stag's Leap Wine Cellars]] and [[Chateau Montelena]] won the [[Judgment of Paris (wine)|"Judgment of Paris"]] in 1976.
==History==
===Prehistory–18th century===
In [[prehistoric]] times, the valley was inhabited by the [[Patwin]] [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]]s, with possible habitation by [[Wappo]] tribes in the northwestern foothills. Most villages are thought to have been constructed near the [[floodplain]]s of watercourses that drain the valley. Their food consisted of wild roots, [[acorn]]s, small animals, [[earthworm]]s, [[grasshopper]]s, and bread made from crushed [[California buckeye]] kernels. In winter they would construct huts made of tree branches. In summer they camped near rivers and streams. In winter months, they were half-clad in wild animal skins and at other times they wore no clothing. The maximum prehistoric population is thought not to have exceeded 5000 persons.<ref name="AutoZC-3"/>
In 1776, a fort was erected by the Spanish Governor, [[Felipe de Neve]], a short distance northwest of Napa, on an elevated [[plateau]].<ref name="AutoZC-4"/> Russians from [[Sonoma County]]'s [[Fort Ross]] grazed cattle and sheep in the Napa Valley in the early 19th century and in 1841 a survey party from the fort placed a plaque on the summit of [[Mount Saint Helena]].
===Early 19th century===
Francis Castro and Father Jose Altimura were the first Europeans to explore the Napa Valley, in 1823.<ref name="AutoZC-5"/> When the first white settlers arrived in the early 1830s, there were six tribes in the valley speaking different dialects and they were often at war with each other. The Mayacomos tribe lived in the area where [[Calistoga, California|Calistoga]] was founded. The Callajomans were in the area near where the town of St. Helena now stands. Further south, the Kymus dwelt in the middle part of the valley. The Napa and Ulcus tribes occupied part of the area where the City of [[Napa, California|Napa]] now exists while the Soscol tribe occupied the portion that now makes up the southern end of the valley. Many of the native peoples died during a smallpox epidemic in 1838. Settlers also killed several over claims of cattle theft.
During the era between 1836 and 1846, when California was a province of independent [[Mexico]], the following 13 [[Ranchos of California|ranchos]] were granted in Napa County:<ref name="AutoZC-6"/>

[[George C. Yount]] was an early settler in Napa County and is believed to be the first [[English-speaking|Anglo-Saxon]] resident in the county. In 1836 Yount obtained the Mexican grant Rancho Caymus where he built what is said to be the first log house in California. Soon afterward, he built a sawmill and grain mill, and was the first person to plant a vineyard in the county. Following Yount's death in 1865 at age 71, the town of [[Yountville, California|Yountville]] was named in his honor.
Following his marriage to [[Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo|General Vallejo]]’s niece Maria Guadalupe Soberanes, [[Edward Turner Bale]] became a citizen of Mexico and was granted Rancho Carne Humana in the northern end of the valley. Bale completed building the [[Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park|Bale Grist Mill]] a few miles north of [[St. Helena, California|St. Helena]] in 1846. Colonel [[Joseph Chiles|Joseph B. Chiles]] a guide for one of the earliest immigrant trains to California, was granted Rancho Catacula in 1844.
The Town of Napa was founded on Rancho Entre Napa by [[Nathan Coombs]] in 1847.
Following the event of the [[Mexican–American War]], [[California Republic|Bear Flag Revolt]] in 1846 and the [[Mexican Cession]] in 1848, settlers were granted deeds from the original ranchos during the 1850s through 1870s. To this day, a number of streets and landmarks around the valley reflect the names of these ranchos and original grantees.
===Late 19th century===
Napa County was formed and became one of the original California counties when the state became part of the [[United States]] in 1850.
Descendants of George Yount and Captain Edward Bale played key roles in the early development of Napa County. Yount's granddaughter Elizabeth Yount married Thomas Rutherford in 1864. The couple received as a wedding gift from George Yount, land in the area of the valley now known as Rutherford. Rutherford established himself as a serious grower and producer of fine wines in the following years. Bale's oldest daughter Lolita married the seaman Louis Bruck. When Bale died in 1848, Bruck became the executor of the will for the family. He was elected the first mayor of Napa City when incorporated in 1872. Charles Krug, a fellow Prussian compatriot and pioneer viticulturalist at Sonoma, married Lolita's younger sister Caroline with a dowry that included land near the Bale mill. Krug then moved north of St. Helena to establish the valley's first commercial winery.
[[John Patchett]] opened the first commercial winery in the county in 1859. The vineyard and wine cellar were in an area now in the city limits of Napa. After working as a winemaker for Patchett, [[Charles Krug]] founded his own winery in St. Helena 1861.<ref name="AutoZC-7"/>
The county's population began to grow in the mid-century as pioneers, prospectors, and entrepreneurs moved in and set up residence. During this period, settlers primarily raised cattle and farmed grain and fruit crops. Mineral mining also played a role in the economics of the county. In 1858 the great silver rush began in Napa Valley, and miners flocked to the eastern hills. While gold was being prospected in other areas of the state in the 1850s, Napa County became a center for [[silver]] and [[Mercury (element)|quicksilver]] mining. In the 1860s, mining carried on, on a large scale, with quicksilver mines operating in many areas of Napa County.
In 1866 John Lawley established a toll road from Calistoga over Mount Saint Helena to Lake County.
[[File:Mount Saint Helena, viewed from Napa Valley.JPG|right|thumb|Young vineyard in the valley with [[Mount Saint Helena]] in the background]]
[[Robert Louis Stevenson]]'s book ''[[The Silverado Squatters]]'' provides a snapshot of life and insight into some of the characters that lived around the valley during the later part of the 19th century. Stevenson, accompanied by his new bride [[Fanny Vandegrift]] and her 12-year-old son from a previous marriage, [[Lloyd Osbourne]], spent the late spring and early summer of 1880 honeymooning in an abandoned bunk house at a played-out mine near the summit of Mount Saint Helena. In the book, Stevenson's descriptive writing style documented his ventures in the area and profiled several of the early pioneers who played a role in shaping the region's commerce and society. Stevenson's book also brought attention to the various spas and hot springs in the county. From Calistoga to Æetna Springs in Pope Valley to Soda Springs Resort a few miles east of Napa, tourists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries made the county their destination much the same as modern day tourists. The resorts became very popular with San Franciscans anxious to escape the cold and foggy weather that often plagues the city to enjoy the warmer climate Napa County offered.
In the mid-1860s, entrepreneur [[Samuel Brannan]] purchased land in the northern end of the valley at the foot of Mount Saint Helena and founded Calistoga. He began developing it as a resort town taking advantage of or the area's numerous mineral hot springs. He also founded the Napa Valley Railroad Company in 1864 to bring tourists to Calistoga from [[Ferries of San Francisco Bay|San Francisco ferry boats]] that docked in [[Vallejo, California|Vallejo]]. Brannan's railroad venture failed and was sold at a foreclosure sale in 1869. The railroad eventually came under the ownership of [[Southern Pacific Railroad]] late in the 19th century.
The [[Veterans Home of California Yountville]] was established in Yountville in 1884 by the San Francisco chapter of the [[Grand Army of the Republic]]. The State of California assumed administration of the Home in 1897.<ref name="AutoZC-8"/>
===20th and 21st centuries===
[[File:Napa Valley grapes Photo D Ramey Logan 02.JPG|right|thumb|Napa Valley grapes]]
By the end of the 1900s, farmers had planted over 500,000 fruit and nut trees in the county, especially plums and pears. This helped to soften the blows to the agricultural economy caused by the phylloxera infestation in the county's vineyards and upcoming prohibition that crippled the wine industry, but resulted in a boom for shipping grapes to immigrant, home winemakers across the country.
During [[World War II]], the [[Basalt Rock Company]] located south of the City of Napa on the Napa River, built 3 dozen [[Rescue and salvage ship|salvage rescue tugs]] for the [[United States Navy]].<ref name="AutoZC-9"/> German prisoners of war were housed in a [[Beale Air Force Base|Camp Beale]] satellite prisoner of war camp near Yountville.<ref>{{cite news |title=Forgotten history: German POWs worked at Napa ranches during war |newspaper=[[Napa Valley Register]] |url=https://napavalleyregister.com/news/local/forgotten-history-german-pows-worked-at-napa-ranches-during-war/article_acf71d66-88d6-5c99-bd9b-c191b97790b6.html |accessdate=March 7, 2022 |date=February 12, 2022 |last=Huffman |first=Jennifer}}</ref> The prisoners were utilized to supplement a dwindled able bodied agricultural labor force caused by the needs of the American war effort.
Following the war, several new small and medium size businesses began operating in the county. A large majority of these businesses were related to the wine industry and tourism. Agriculture in the county remained very diverse until late in the 20th century when wine grapes again became the primary focus. While vineyards were planted on well over 90% of the agricultural land in the county, by the end of the 20th century, modern day farmers have recently begun exploring the possibility of raising other food crops in order to again diversify and take advantage of growing conditions.<ref name="AutoZC-10"/>
At 3:20 a.m. on August 24, 2014, the area was struck by a [[2014 South Napa earthquake|magnitude 6.0 earthquake]] centered {{convert|3.7|mi|km}} northwest of the city of [[American Canyon, California|American Canyon]].<ref name="BBC-28918600"/><ref name="AutoZC-11"/>
In October 2017, parts of the county were affected by [[October 2017 Northern California wildfires|wildfires]].
From June to July 2018, the [[County Fire]] affected a small part of Napa County after crossing over from [[Yolo County, California]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php/news/56691-county-fire-grows-crosses-into-napa-county-more-evacuation-orders-advisories-issued|title=County fire grows, crosses into Napa County; more evacuation orders, advisories issued|last=Larson|first=Elizabeth|date=July 1, 2018|work=Lake County News|access-date=October 27, 2019}}</ref>
In October 2019, heavy smoke and unscheduled black outs by [[Pacific Gas and Electric Company]] of up to 20,000 customers affected the county due to fierce winds and threats from the [[Kincade Fire]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://napavalleyregister.com/news/local/more-outages-strike-napa-county-after-fierce-overnight-winds-local/article_73775681-7e0e-5768-a5bd-f8c6400eda8a.html|title=More outages strike Napa County after fierce overnight winds; local shelters to open for Sonoma County wildfire evacuees|last1=Yune|first1=Howard|date=October 27, 2019|work=Napa Valley Register|access-date=October 27, 2019|last2=Sweeney|first2=Cynthia|publication-place=Napa, California}}</ref>
==Geography==
[[
[[File:Fall in Napa Valley.jpg|right|thumb|Fall in Napa Valley]]
According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|789|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|748|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|40|sqmi}} (5.1%) is water.<ref name="GR1"/>
Napa is warmer in the summer than [[Sonoma County]], to the west, or [[Santa Barbara County]], a wine-producing county in southern California. Thus, the Napa wineries favor varietals such as [[Cabernet Sauvignon]], while [[Pinot noir]] and [[Chardonnay]] are more the specialty of Sonoma and Santa Barbara wineries. At the north end of Napa County, in the [[Mayacamas Mountains]], lies Mount Saint Helena, the Bay Area's second tallest peak at {{convert|4,344|ft|m}} and home to [[Robert Louis Stevenson State Park]]; [[Snell Valley]] is also situated in northern Napa County; the [[Missimer Wildflower Preserve]] is within Snell Valley. On the west side of the Napa Valley is [[Mount Hood, Sonoma County|Hood Mountain]], elevation {{convert|2,750|ft|m}}.
Napa County is home to a variety of [[flora]] and [[fauna]] including numerous [[rare species|rare]] and [[endangered species]] such as [[Tiburon Indian paintbrush]] and [[Contra Costa goldfields]].

===Wine===
[[File:Barrel room at Merryvale.jpg|right|thumb|Barrel room at Merryvale Winery in the valley]]
{{Main|Napa Valley AVA}}
Napa Valley is widely considered one of the top [[American Viticultural Area]]s in California, and all of the United States, with a history dating back to the early nineteenth century. By the end of the nineteenth century, there were more than 140 wineries in the area. Several still exist in the valley including Charles Krug Winery, Schramsberg, [[Chateau Montelena]], Nichelini and Beringer. Viticulture in Napa suffered a setback when [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]] was enacted in 1920.<ref name="AutoZC-21"/> Furthering the damage was an infestation of the [[phylloxera]] root louse which killed many of the vines through the valley. These two events caused many wineries to shut down and stalled the growth of the wine industry in Napa County for years. But for many Italian and Swiss families as farm labourers in the vineyards, Prohibition offered the unique opportunity for the growing and shipping of grapes to immigrant home winemakers across the country. Charles Forni, who received a gold coin as his first U.S. dollar upon arriving, rose to be a large shipper. The Mondavi family came West from the Minnesota ore country to Lodi to ship grapes to the "Italian Club" miners. When Prohibition stopped in 1933, the price of grapes crashed to below $24 per ton. Then A.P. Giannini, founder of Bank of America in San Francisco, started to promote to rebuild the commerce of wine and viticulture. Following the [[Second World War]], the wine industry in Napa again began to grow.
[[File:RobertMondavi.jpg|thumb|left|Robert Mondavi Winery, Napa]]
In 1965, Napa Valley icon [[Robert Mondavi]] broke away from his family's Charles Krug estate to found his own. This was the first new large scale winery to be established in the valley since before prohibition. After the establishment of the Mondavi estate, the number of wineries in the valley continued to grow, as did the region's reputation. Consumer trends followed the 60s free lifestyle for experimentation. The old "paesano" customers of "dego red" gallon jug wines changed to young women who considered white wine, not beer, as their new drink of choice for romance. Robert Mondavi Winery attracted new wine aficionados by introducing the larger, 1.5-liter wine bottle for an image of affordable quality.
[[File:Chateau Montelena Winery.gk.jpg|thumb|right|Chateau Montelena]]
In addition to large scale wineries, Napa Valley's boutique wineries produce some of the world's best wines. The producers of these wines include but are not limited to: [[Araujo Estate Wines|Araujo]], Bryant Family, Monticello Vineyards, [[Ceja Vineyards]], Chimney Rock Winery, [[Colgin Cellars]], Dalla Valle Maya, Diamond Creek, [[Dominus Estate]], [[Duckhorn Vineyards]], Dunn Howell Mountain, [[Grace Family Vineyards]], [[Harlan Estate]], Husic, Kistler, Jericho Canyon Vineyards, Marcassin, Rutherford Hill Winery, [[Screaming Eagle Winery and Vineyards|Screaming Eagle]], Sequoia Grove, Shafer Hillside Select, Steltzner Vineyards, and Bouchaine Vineyards.
Today Napa Valley features more than four hundred wineries and grows many different grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, [[Merlot]], [[Zinfandel]], and other popular varietals. As many as five million people visit the area each year.
==Agricultural preservation==
[[File:Clos du Val Winery, Napa Valley, California, USA (6863361815).jpg|right|thumb|A vineyard in the valley]]
Napa County has maintained a rural agricultural environment in a large part of the valley floor while neighboring Sonoma, Solano, and Yolo counties have allowed large tracts of former farmland to be rezoned for commercial and residential development. In 1968 vintners and civic leaders in the county seized an opportunity to preserve farmland by taking advantage of the [[Williamson Act]]<ref name="AutoZC-22"/> enacted by the California Legislature to give landowners property tax relief for designating their land for agricultural purposes. This agricultural preserve<ref name="AutoZC-23"/> on the floor of the valley in unincorporated areas between Napa and Calistoga was the first of its kind in the state. Initially, the preserve encompassed {{convert|23000|acre|km2|1}},but it has grown to more than {{convert|30000|acre|km2|1}}. In 2010, legislation was passed by the California State Senate and State Assembly and sent to the Governor for signing in the form of Senate Bill 1142. This bill was created to provide relief stream of funding to augment the Williamson Act.<ref name="AutoZC-24"/>
The county has resisted encroachment on the preserve since it was created with voters reaffirming their desire to keep it intact on several occasions. In 1990 voters passed Measure J<ref name="AutoZC-25"/> adopting an initiative freezing all county zoning changes until the year 2020 unless there is a two-thirds majority vote to adopt such changes.<ref name="AutoZC-26"/> Measure J was reaffirmed by a 5–2 vote of the California Supreme Court in 1995 in the case of Devita v. County of Napa.<ref name="AutoZC-27"/>
The Land Trust of Napa County<ref name="AutoZC-28"/> was founded in 1976 by a group of local citizens with a mission to protect the natural diversity, scenic open space and agricultural vitality of the county. The trust acquires conservation easements, facilitates land transfers to local, state and federal agencies along with accepting outright donations of land within and outside the boundary of the agricultural preserve. The trust now covers over {{convert|50000|acre|km2|1}}.<ref name="AutoZC-29"/>
While establishment of the agricultural preserve and the land trust has slowed residential development in much of the county, residential growth within the incorporated cities has continued at a moderate pace. Several substantial homes have been built on the hills surrounding the valley in areas not covered by the preserve or the land trust. A large portion of the land south of the City of Napa remained undeveloped for many decades until the 1980s. Several wine bottling facilities and [[wine storage]] warehouses now stand on what was once vacant land. A number of light industries have also sprung up in this region as new business parks have been built. The growth of American Canyon,<ref name="AutoZC-30"/> Napa County's southernmost and newest city, incorporated in 1992, has prompted the establishment of several new retail outlets in the southern end of the county in recent years. American Canyon has also established a green belt preserve of over {{convert|1000|acre|km2|1}} on the western and eastern sides of the city.
In November 2009, the Napa Valley Vintners Association, the Napa Farm Bureau, the Napa Valley Grapegrowers and an advocacy group called Preserving the Integrity of Napa's Agriculture completed a two-year study of [[Genetically Modified Organism|Genetically Engineered Organisms (GEOs)]],<ref name="Current Issues NVFB"/> and released a joint letter recommending no GEO usage in Napa County until the risks and benefits of GEOs are reevaluated and a "satisfactory" regulatory framework is put in place.<ref name="Joint Letter Napa GEOs"/>
==Education==
In addition to its many public and private schools, two colleges also operate in the county.
