If you are considering relocating to Marin County, you are in for truly pleasurable times ahead. One of the most stunning and distinctive areas in America, Marin County not only promises dazzling scenery, but also outstanding schools, fine restaurants, never-ending open spaces and parks, great shopping, and that only scratches the surface. Some of the most sought-after places to live are in Marin County's southern reaches - most of them within direct view of the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge. A world-weary advertising executive from New York and first time visitor to the area was so overjoyed with the incredible scenery that he was seeing as he drove up US101 that he actually "had to pull off the highway." Sausalito, with its houseboats and long waterfront, has incredible views of San Francisco. Tiburon, which is just west of Sausalito, not only has phenomenal views of the City; it also has wide-open spaces. The pice de rsistance is the island City of Belvedere, one of the wealthiest municipalities in the United States, which sits between Tiburon to the west and Sausalito to the east. Located in popular Mill Valley, the famous Tamalpais High School was awarded the California Distinguished School Award in 1999, 2005, and 2009 and has ranked in the top 5% of American schools since 2005. Students from Mill Valley and Sausalito may attend Tamalpais. The process of relocating to Marin County is much simpler when every aspect of each town that one could want to know is accessed from available online information. For example, copy the following URL and enter it into your browser window: http://www.city-data.com/city/Mill-Valley-California.html. A simple substitution of Tiburon, Belvedere or Sausalito for the Mill Valley part of the URL allows you to learn about these places. Another aspect of Marin that is outstanding is its topographic diversity, beginning with tidal flats along the coastline and rising up the rugged 2,600 foot Mt. Tamalpais. Lush and towering Redwood groves and the open trails of the Tennessee Valley Trailhead, which is part of the Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area National Park Service, are perfect locations for hikes and horseback riding. Swimming, boating, fishing are all possible in the San Pablo and San Francisco Bays as well as the Pacific Ocean. In addition, Marin County is fascinating from a historical viewpoint. Populated by the Miwok Indians during the Gold Rush in the early 1850s, the region became most fully inhabited after the 1906 Earthquake and conflagration that followed in San Francisco, driving many people of different ethnic groups across the Bay to Marin County. Owned by Mexico before the US Mexican War, the region was split up into large ranchos that were granted to Mexicans and Americans who spoke fluent Spanish. In 1579, famed Sir Francis Drake sailed into a small harbor in western Marin County to repair his ship, The Golden Hind, after a year of marauding along the Mexican coast. While he claimed the surrounding territory for Queen Elizabeth I and England, those claims were never recognized.
