In the Bible, God told Noah to build an ark. The ark Noah built was eight times longer than the arks in this 1895 photo of Belvedere Cove. Shorter they may be, but far more creature comforts they had. For example, the ark in center foreground, the Nautilus, consisted of four San Francisco streetcars that were barged across the bay and bolted to a large raft. Thus the Nautilus’ cozy interior had ample seating and enough windows to easily view the nearby hills of Tiburon.

In the late 1890s Marin wanted a tourist attraction. One answer was a train from Mill Valley that would snake up Mount Tam pulling carloads of tourists. For the return trip, the train’s engine would get out of the way and let the cars full of tourists merrily coast back down to Mill Valley. That began to happen in 1896, and it continued happening for the next 33 years, drawing over a million people to Marin County.

For downtown Mill Valley, 1929 was a good and bad year. The bad was a disastrous fire that destroyed 117 homes and — but for a sudden wind shift — would have added downtown Mill Valley (pictured above) to its toll. As for the good, ’29 was the year the Sequoia Theater first opened. Prior to that, the Hub Theater at 142 Throckmorton Street, which had opened in the 1900s, was the town’s hot spot for silent films and vaudeville acts. But with Sequoia’s opening, the Hub was history.

Can it be said that it all started on the night of Nov. 3, 1992? That’s when Barbara Boxer, who’d served on the Marin County Board of Supervisors from 1978 to 1982 — and was its first female president — was elected a U.S. Senator from California. Re-elected on that night was Dianne Feinstein, who had previously served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors — and in 1970 was its first female president.
