History

San Rafael was platted in 1877 by Henry A Dubois and named for his hometown, San Rafael, California. Development began about 1888 and lasted until the silver Crash of 1893. Recently designated as an Historic District, this area also suffered through difficult times, but, since the mid-1970s, has had an influx of determined residents who are actively involved with neighborhood preservation efforts. An array of Victorian and turn-of-the-century homes are anchored by one of the most beautiful Victorian row houses in the city: the “New Terrace” at Twentieth and Emerson.
