The wooden fortress Fort Ross is a former Russian settlement located on the California coast about 80 kilometers from San Francisco. In 1812, it was founded by a Russian-American company for the fishing and sale of fur. In 1841, property was acquired by large landowner John Sutter. Today the fort is historical California State Park, on the territory of which the house of the last Russian commandant Rotchev is preserved - an object of historical value of national importance.
