Welcome to Corte Madera

The town of Corte Madera is on part of Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio granted to John Reed in 1834 by the Mexican Governor José Figueroa. Reed quickly took to the lumber industry, logging the area's immense supply of redwoods and shipping the lumber to San Francisco by way of Corte Madera Creek—-some of this wood was used to build the Presidio in San Francisco. And the town kept growing.

Corte Madera is ideally located just minutes from the excitement of San Francisco or the charm of the Napa and Sonoma Wine Country. Resort guests and local residents will enjoy the close proximity to well-known Marin County attractions such as Muir Woods National Monument, Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito and Point Reyes National Seashore.
