The Coast Miwok civilization thrived in the Cotati area since at least
2000 BC, with principal villages built near major streams, but typically
above the floodplain, ironically illustrating more foresight than modern
urban planning planning. In July of 1844, the Mexican government granted
Rancho Cotate (encompassing present-day towns of Cotati, Penngrove and
Rohnert Park, and originally home of the Coast Miwok native people) to
Captain Juan Castenada, a Mexican military commander from Texas, in
payment for his military services in the region as a soldier under General
Vallejo. The grant took its name from Kotati (Kota'ti), a Coast Miwok
village although a legend arose that Rancho Cotate was named after a local
Indian named Chief Cotati.
