Known today for its wine, Napa originally began as a mining and lumber town. The Napa valley was originally a heavily forested area full of grizzly bears, elk, and panthers. Agriculture, lumber, and silver miners brought thousands of pioneers to the area in the late 1800s, and it was not until the end of prohibition that Napa’s wine industry began to flourish.
