Sebastopol, California

The town in Sonoma County originally had the name Pinegrove; the name change (according to rumor) had something to do with a bar fight in the late 1850s, which was compared by a bystander to the long British siege of the seaport of Sevastopol (1854-1855) during the Crimean War of 1853-1856. [11]


At one time, four other California towns were also named Sebastopol:

one in Napa County, renamed Yountvilleone in Tulare Countyone in Sacramento Countyone in Nevada County
Sebastopol became known as the "Gravenstein Apple Capital of the World".
