==History==
The town of Angwin is named for Edwin Angwin (1841–1919), a native of St. Agnes,  [[Cornwall]], who in 1875 purchased a {{Convert|200|acre|km2|1|adj=on}} parcel within the [[Rancho La Jota]] on [[Howell Mountain, California|Howell Mountain]] and established the Angwin Resort.<ref name=gudde>{{cite book|first=Erwin|last=Gudde| author2 =William Bright |title=California Place Names|year=2004|edition=Fourth|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=0-520-24217-3}}</ref> By the 1900s, Mr. Angwin owned almost {{Convert|1,600|acre|km2}} of land in the area.<ref>{{Cite book

Prior to 1875, Rancho La Jota was held in its entirety by William Campbell Watson, husband of Elizabeth Anne Davis, the granddaughter of [[George C. Yount]]. Mr. Watson began to sell off portions of the Rancho in 1875, Mr. Angwin's being among the first parcels. Soon after a community began to emerge with the success of, and in support of, the Angwin Resort.

In 1909, Healdsburg College (formerly Healdsburg Academy), a [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventist]] college, moved from its location in [[Healdsburg]] when it purchased the Angwin Resort for $60,000 to open [[Pacific Union College]].<ref>{{Cite journal
