Geyserville (formerly Clairville) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Sonoma County, California, USA. Located in the Wine Country, Geyserville has a small selection of restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and wineries. Silver Oak Cellars has a winery and vineyard in Geyserville. Geyserville is located on California State Route 128, close to US Route 101. The population was 862 at the 2010 census.
Geyserville, located on the Rancho Tzabaco Mexican land grant, owes its foundation to the discovery in 1847 of a series of hot springs, fumaroles, and steam vents in a gorge in the mountains of Sonoma County, California, between Calistoga and Cloverdale. This complex, which became known as The Geysers, soon became a tourist attraction, and a settlement grew up to provide accommodation and serve as a gateway to The Geysers. It was initially known as Clairville but subsequently renamed Geyserville. After the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad was extended to Cloverdale in the 1870s, its trains stopped in Geyserville.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP covers an area of 4.6 square miles (11.9 km²), all of it land.
The 2010 United States Census reported that Geyserville had a population of 862, although the official sign at the entrance to the town says "1,600" on August 8, 2014. The population density was 187.9 people per square mile (72.5/km²). The racial makeup of Geyserville was 609 (70.6%) White, 5 (0.6%) African American, 7 (0.8%) Native American, 14 (1.6%) Asian, 0 (0.0%) Pacific Islander, 192 (22.3%) from other races, and 35 (4.1%) from two or more races.
