I just re-inserted the Polly Klass line. Perhaps it isn't in the right spot, but I couldn't figure out why it has been deleted twice. Having lived in the town at the time it happened, I think it is an important part of the town's history. Perhaps there should be a history section?
Perhaps the point is that the vicious sex murder of an innocent little girl by a scum-of-the-earth killer is a much, much, MUCH more serious thing than the death by idiocy (aka drugs) of a nobody member of an ultra-ultra-ultra-minor local nobody band. Perhaps the other, virtually irrelevant matter should be removed?
this is a very poor graphic for lead image. i would vote to delete it or move to bottom. it is uninteresting besides being unreadable. what do others think? Anlace 17:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
It seems that there's a constant fight on this page for and against mentioning the Petaluma heroin overdose and eventual death of the lead singer of the band Sublime. The most recent battle seems to have been between an anonymous user (for) and Anlace (against). Anlace, your primary concern seems to be that the event didn't have a strong source and that it mentioned drug use. Am I understanding you correctly?
The event certainly did happen and Sublime is well known enough that their history with Petaluma is worth mentioning. If we could find a verifiable and trusted source for the exact details of the event, would your concerns be addressed?

Why is there so much emphasis on murder in Petaluma? Karr is a non-issue to Petaluma history; had had no affect on the town.
The historical event the most influenced Petaluma was Lyman Byce's incubator in 1879. That's what Petaluma celebrates as its history.
The fish hatchery should be added; perhaps also Casa's Academic Decathalon success.
Petaluman 23:25, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Petaluman.
I fully agree with Petaluman, Karr lived in Petaluma for little more then 6-7 months at had no real impact on Petaluma, Casa Grande's Academic Decathalon Team is more worth while mentioning. -- Alamody 04:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there a desire to see a genealogy section? I have been working on several families from Petaluma and all are referenced.
I take back what I said in the edit history -- I guess Winona does need to be listed twice, if it was worth reverting my change. I also cleaned up Lynn Woolsey being pluralized, which was also reverted. Why, I have no idea. Dori 06:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
The list of songs about Petaluma should include AFI's "Days of the Phoenix". The Phoenix is an important piece of Petaluma culture.
Is it really a notable fact about Petaluma that there is a winery and reseraunt that happen to have the same name in another country? Unless there is a connection to Petaluma, CA established, I don't think these facts should be listed in regard to Petaluma, CA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.68.128.254 ( talk) 22:26, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I grew up in Petaluma a movie called Heroes can be added to the list . It was with Sally Field, Henry Winkler, and Harrison Ford. I was at the Petaluma race track when it was filmed. 166.214.165.59 04:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Kenneth Averett
Of Peanuts fame was a big fan of the city, I recall. Did he own property there and would he be considered a resident at any point? I see that the Sonoma County Airport has been named after him, nice touch. CodeCarpenter 17:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Very glad you brought up this point. Charles Shultz was a good friend of Bill Soberanes, founder of the World Wristwrestling Championship, held in Petaluma. Bill Soberanes was a reporter for the Petaluma Argus-Courier and a "peopleologist" (his own invention). Soberanes was famous for taking pictures of himself with famous people. Schultz, for reasons unknown to me, gave Soberanes a big boost by sending Snoopy to Petaluma for the World Wristwrestling Championships. This information was given to me verbally by Bill Soberanes, a good friend of mine before his death in 2003. James C. March 13:59, 19 March 2007 (PST)
As a child, I recall being told that Petaluma was the per-capita egg-laying capital of the world. Anyone have a reference to this, and is it still the case? CodeCarpenter 17:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
OneHump 04:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC) In 1879, Lyman Bryce invented the first successful incubator for hatching eggs. Petaluma was once referred to as "The Egg Basket of the World". This is as significant to Petaluma's history and identity as any other single fact.
He did live in Petaluma, unfortunately people couldn't leave him alone so they moved back to Hollywood. His page makes no reference to Petaluma. How is he linked to the city? Just curious.... CodeCarpenter 22:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Reading through the text it could be organized a little better. Also the language appears a bit rough perhaps a good editor can clean this all up. Coyotez 05:43, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Does anoyone have a good map of the town to add to the page? Perhaps Petaluma Vistors Center has one. Coyotez 05:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I was recently researching philosophers for a school project and discovered that there was one from Petaluma named David Jebe. All I could find was that he was a large contributor to philosophy during the early to mid 80's during and after his schooling at UC Davis. I am hopeful that someone else will have more info on him at some point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.161.216 ( talk) 09:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps someone could take and upload some photos? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikip rhyre ( talk • contribs) 01:25, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
The article should probably mention that they filmed a 2 part episode of To Catch a Predator in Petaluma. It caught the most predators of all, which should make Petaluma (Pedo-luma) the pedophile capitol of the world —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.62.174.10 ( talk) 02:04, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
This is blown out of proportion over the Polly Klaas case. I've Lived there. Safer than Most American cities. Just like painting Milpitas "all bad" over that teen murder. An Isolated Incident.Again No Statistics, No Numbers, No Data; just Opinions of those who never Lived there....

It didn't snow in 2001-2002. I Lived in Cotati from 1992-2002; 7 miles away from PetaHoma, and at 1,000 feet in altitude. There was the Usual 1/8" of Slush; no "snow". Neither did Petaluma, at 14' above sea level, and that sea breeze modification.Quote a US weather service link. 70.162.46.94 ( talk) 19:37, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to make a section about the Petaluma All-Star team in the 2012 LLWS. Drop me a line if you'd like to collaborate. Electric Catfish 18:26, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Petaluma, California. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}

nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the

I have a book of all the daily Peanuts comics from the 1960s, which includes the one where Snoopy goes to the National Armwrestling Championship. The reason I'm writing this is because in another later comic, Snoopy is training with "Peppermint" Patty to go to an ice skating competition in Oakland, which Charlie Brown mentions is 50 miles from Petaluma, and Snoopy reacts in a similar way to when he heard Petaluma before. -- JH2006 ( talk) 18:12, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
