Petaluma California Poultry District 1915 Postcard Posted Divided Back

This 1915 sepia-toned postcard presents an elevated view of Petaluma’s poultry district in California, showing farm structures, road grids, and rolling hills surrounding the developing agricultural town.

Petaluma became nationally recognized in the early twentieth century as a center of poultry and egg production, with organized farm tracts and hatcheries shaping the regional economy. The image, captioned A Portion of the Poultry District Petaluma Calif, documents rectangular property divisions, modest farmhouses, outbuildings, and cultivated fields extending toward the hills beyond town. The aerial vantage point emphasizes the agricultural layout and infrastructural planning that supported Petaluma’s prominence within California’s poultry industry.

The postcard features a divided back format consistent with the period and bears a 1915 postmark with handwritten correspondence. Sepia printing enhances the tonal depth of the landscape and architectural detail. The composition offers strong documentary value for collectors of Sonoma County and California agricultural history.
