In the 19th century, settlers began to encroach on what was formerly indigenous land. Settlers arrived in masses to California to grow crops in the rich soil. During the great gold and silver rushes of the mid-19th century, legions of people flocked to the west coast in search of riches, many of whom settled in Napa. After achieving statehood, the first wineries and vineyards started popping up, and to staff these large plantations, Napa relied on foreign migrant labor, mostly from southern Italy. As a result, Napa became a diverse city with numerous groups and cultural backgrounds.

When you book an RV in Napa, it’ll quickly become apparent why so many people have heard of and hope to one day see the fabled vineyards of California’s wine country. Although it took a massive dip in tourism in the early 21st century, the area has largely rebounded, welcoming millions of visitors each year. With its ideal location between San Francisco and Sacramento, there is no telling where you can go when you nab an RV rental near Napa, CA.
