Forestville's unofficial motto is "Forestville, The Good Life." The town in Sonoma County was settled during the late 1860s and was originally named Forrestville after one of its founders. The spelling long ago became standardized with one "r". Forestville is located about 60 miles (97 km) north of San Francisco. Near Forestville is the confluence of the Laguna de Santa Rosa and Mark West Creek with the Russian River. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forestville,_California
