  Petaluma, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Petaluma, California
To an immigrant Canadian, Petaluma - the Miwok Indian word for "flat back" - appeared to be an ideal place for chicken farming; he imported white Leghorn chickens, and in 1878 invented the incubator.
Chicken farming reached its peak in 1920 when Petaluma, often called the egg-capital of the world, dispatched 22 million eggs.
Today there is nothing left of the chicken farms, even though the buildings of historic Petaluma have been amazingly well preserved, and its earlier importance as a river port for trade with San Francisco is still clear to see.
