The Marin County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution on Nov. 18 commemorating the county's 175th year, calling attention to the county's history, cultural diversity and conservation achievements.
The resolution acknowledges Marin as one of California's original 27 counties, recognizes the unceded ancestral lands of Coast Miwok peoples, and lists major local developments across two centuries — from early ranching and dairy economies to conservation victories and wartime shipyards.
