Cotati, California is located in Sonoma County approximately eight miles south of Santa Rosa, nine miles north of Petaluma and 47 miles north of San Francisco near Highway 101. Named after a Miwok Native American village, Kota’ti, the peaceful-looking region with its rolling hills and colorful fields is primarily a residential community made up agriculture and local business enterprise. Once a destination for tourists with hotels and entertainment, Cotati was home to alternative music and attracted those seeking alternative lifestyles during much of the 20th century. As the regional population grew, however, it incorporated and created a slow growth policy. Music continues to be an important element of the community's well-being as the city enjoys an infusion of local talent and a larger base from nearby colleges. Near Cotati are Sonoma State and Golden Gate University, recognized as one of the top universities in the United States for information technology.
