History

In 1857, James Ross (1812–1862) bought Rancho Punta de Quentin. Ross, a Scot who had arrived in San Francisco from Australia in 1848 and made his fortune in the wholesale liquor business, set up a trading post called "Ross Landing".[5][6] Steamers would come up Corte Madera Creek to the landing there.[5] Albert Emmett Kent bought the land from the Ross estate in 1871.[5][7] Kent built an estate called Tamalpais, later applied to the nearby railroad station.[5] His son, William Kent, was a US Congressman, philanthropist and founder of Muir Woods.[7]

The name of the railroad station was changed to Kent in the 1890s, and finally to Kentfield with the opening of the first post office in 1905.[5]
