Sebastopol (/sɪˈbæstəpoʊl, -puːl/ sib-AST-ə-pohl, -pool) is a city in Sonoma County, California, with a recorded population of 7,521, per the 2020 U.S. Census.[7]
Sebastopol was once primarily a plum- and apple-growing region.[9] Wine grapes are the predominant agriculture crop, and nearly all lands once used for orchards are now vineyards. The creation of The Barlow, a $32 million mall on a floodplain in Sebastopol, has converted old agricultural warehouses into a marketplace for dining, tasting rooms, and art, and has made Sebastopol a Wine Country destination.[10][11]
Horticulturist Luther Burbank had gardens in this region.[9][12] The city hosts an annual Apple Blossom Festival in April, Gravenstein Apple Fair in August, and is home to the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival.[13][14][15]
