Centrally located in Marin County is the small village of Nicasio. The
town center has a post office, a general store, a tiny real estate
office, a historical Society building, St. Mary’s Church (established
in 1867), Nicasio Volunteer Fire Department, a baseball field located
in the town square, Rancho Nicasio, which is a bar/restaurant/live
music establishment, a Druid's Hall, as well as a number of private
homes. The town was founded in the early 19th century to support local
agricultural, timber, and fishing activities. The town once boasted
the twenty-two room Hotel Nicasio, which opened in 1867 but burned
down in December 1940. Just north of town on Nicasio Valley Road is a
beautiful red-roofed one-room schoolhouse that opened in 1871. The
building is currently a listed historical landmark. The Nicasio post
office opened in 1871, closed in 1899, and re-opened in 1900. Town
population is about 95.
