The town of Guerneville lies east of Monte Rio, and Jenner is slightly north-west. The population was 1,152 at the 2010 census, up from 1,104 at the 2000 census.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.0 square miles (5.2 km2). 1.9 square miles (4.9 km2) of it is land and 0.07 square miles (0.18 km2) of it (3.68%) is water.

History

Starting in the 1870s, Monte Rio was a stop on the North Pacific Coast Railroad connecting Cazadero to the Sausalito, California ferry. Portions of the 1942 Academy Award winning film "White Christmas" were filmed at the Village Inn Resort in Monte Rio.

During the second half of the 19th century, the area was heavily logged. However, the Sonoma Lumber Company preserved a 160-acre (65 ha) grove of old-growth redwood trees, which was sold to San Francisco's Bohemian Club in 1899. The club purchased dozens of other parcels in the area, and now owns 2,712 acres (1,098 ha), which it uses for its summer retreats.

All Of You Tonight

by: Monty Are I

This is babe,
Lets admit there is nothing in between us now
We can say what we need to say
Its impossible to turn back now,
There is nothing that can stop us now.
If it happens then its meant to be
I can guarantee, can you guarantee?
And we both know what is on our minds
Just give a little sign, ill give a little sign
Don't make me close my eyes,
Cuz I wanna see all of you tonight.
This is it babe.
Ill admit maybe we should just surrender now.
We cant turn back the clock,
And trick another minute.
So lets savor all we have somehow
I wanna show you, will you show me how
If it happens then its meant to be,
I can guarantee can you guarantee
And we both know what is on our minds
Just give a little sign ill give a little sign,
Don't make me close my eyes,
Cuz I wanna see all of you tonight.
Here with you,
I come into a world that is so innocent
And new I'll take with me this memory
Don't make me close my eyes
