    General Vallejo gets his own statue in the Sonoma Plaza

    General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo is finally getting his due in Sonoma with a statue that will grace the plaza and town he created more than 180 years ago.

    The life-size bronze likeness of him sitting on a bench won’t just be a convenient place to snap a selfie with the general - it will highlight his importance as one of the most influential figures in early California history.

    “We wanted to make a contribution to the founder of our wonderful town,” said city historian Robert Demler, chairman of the citizens committee that raised the money to pay for the statue. “A small group of citizens did this. It took effort and time and patience.”

    The statue was installed this week but sits under wraps, awaiting a formal unveiling ceremony at 4 p.m. Saturday.

    Born July 4, 1808

    Monterey, California, New Spain (Spanish territory)

    Lachryma Montis, near Sonoma, California

    Rancher, politician
