History
editSanta Rosa developer and two-time city councilman Hugh Codding purchased a pair of orchards south of Montgomery Drive with the intention of building a shopping complex. He created Montgomery Village Development Co.[2] and began construction on the center in 1949; it opened the following year, featuring about a dozen businesses. The shopping center was part of the unincorporated Montgomery Village neighborhood that Codding proposed as its own city; the area was incorporated into Santa Rosa in 1955.[3]
The center has since grown to nearly 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2).[4] Its Village Court Stage is the site of regular live concerts and events.[5][6]
