The Mexicans built the last of the missions here to block Russian expansion southward. The mission still stands. The home and headquarters of the Mexican commander of the northern frontier, General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, is west of Sonoma Plaza. With other Spanish buildings, they are now a state historic park. Sonoma was the site of the Bear Flag Revolt, in which a group of Americans seized the fort to establish the California Republic in June 1846. A month later the Bear Flag was replaced by the Stars and Stripes.
Buena Vista Carneros Winery, one of California's oldest wineries, is located near Sonoma. There Count Agoston Haraszthy de Mokcsa, a Hungarian, planted the vineyards from which the entire California wine industry sprang.
