San Anselmo Wedding

San Anselmo is a town in Marin County, California, in the western United States. It is located about 20 miles north of San Francisco. Neighboring towns include San Rafael to the east, Fairfax to the west, Ross to the south, and Terra Linda to the north. The population was 12,378 at the 2000 census.

San Anselmo was mostly pastoral until 1874 when the North Pacific Coast Railroad added to its line a spur track from San Anselmo to San Rafael. In 1875, the railroad completed a line from Sausalito to Tomales via San Anselmo. For a few years, the town was referred to on railroad maps as Junction, but in 1883, the name San Anselmo came back into use.

San Anselmo incorporated in April 9, 1907. Its name came from the Punta de Quintin land grant, which marked this valley as the Canada del Anselmo (Valley of Anselm - an Indian who was buried in the area). San Anselmo was a silent film capital in the early 1900s. On March 12, 1974 San Anselmo officially became a town.
