Corte Madera is a
paradise for shoppers and nature lovers. The town is home to two of Marin County's
finest shopping centers - Town
Center and The Village.
Ring Mountain Preserve and the Corte Madera
Reserve Sanctuary for Migrating Birds exemplify the commitment to preserving
the area's wildlife and habitat. Along with all the amenities of city living,
Corte Madera captures the relaxed outdoor lifestyle of Marin with its lush
open space and bordering wetlands and pleasant climate. Corte Madera occupies
an area of four square miles of land, plus surrounding water tidelands. The
town extends from San Francisco Bay on the east, across Highway 101, to Mount Tamalpais on the west. John Reed, the
owner of the mill that supplied lumber to build the San Francisco Presidio,
owned much of the land where Corte Madera now exists. In 1848, Pennsylvanian
John Van Reynegom arrived with his family at Paradise Bay
and found a spot to settle at the base of Christmas Tree Hill. His daughter
Amelia married Frank Pixley who purchased his in-laws property and upon his
death, Amelia began to sell off the parcels. Many of these early settlers
were artists attracted to the climate and the good bay views from Christmas
Tree Hill, where most of them built their homes.
Much of Corte Madera's summer population remained
after the 1906 earthquake and fire; ten years later the town was
incorporated. The town was a small, sparsely populated community of snug,
wooden bungalows until World War II, when thousands of shipyard workers
streamed into the area to work at nearby Marinship. The postwar baby boom
continued and population grew from 1,000 in 1940 to 8,200 in 1966. In the
late 1960's, the largely unchecked growth was a threat to the area's fragile
marshlands but inspired the birth of the town's powerful environment
movement. The Corte Madera Ecological Reserve, marshlands along the town's
northern bayfront, is the movement's living, breathing monument. In Corte
Madera you will find a blend of contrasts - from its rural, sprawling
hillsides and bordering waterways to its cosmopolitan, fashionable homes and
businesses.
