Guerneville is historically know for it's logging community that was formed there in the late 1800s. Along with it's natural beauty, liberal atmosphere, and proximity to wine-tasting and redwood forests. It was founded by the Guerne family in the 1850s.

Except for a large, beauitiful stand of ancient trees preserved in the Fife Creek watershed which is now the centerpeice of Armstrong Woods Park (Armstrong Redwood Park). Many of the trees were logged in the 19th century, giving rise to the name Stumptown. The anual town parade still commemorates the old  place by naming it Stumptown Days. The name Guerneville was introduced in honor of the Swiss immigrant George Guerne, a local busisnessman of the 19th century who owned the town's sawmill.  The area became popular with wealthy vacationers from San Fransisco and sourounding communities in the late 19th century,A public beach area in the heart of the town along the Russian River used for swimming, fishing, boating, and sunbathing.
