Tiburon and Belvedere share the same spectacular peninsula jutting into San Francisco Bay from Marin County, California. With water on three sides, fabulous views everywhere, and San Francisco a 30-minute ferry ride away, these two communities have become highly desirable places to live. Historian Branwell Fanning, twice mayor of Tiburon, using his own collection and the archives of the Belvedere/Tiburon Landmarks Society, describes the area�s transition from dairy ranches, railroad yards, military bases, and cod fisheries, to charming villages filled with homeowners.
