During the Mexican-American War, Sonoma was the place of the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt. This revolt created the California Republic, a country (with Sonoma as the capital) that existed for less than one month.[7][8] Sonoma is also known for its history of historic mineral pool spas. Currently the highest grossing tourist attraction is the acres of vinyards and wineries including B.R. Cohn and Benzinger.
