Analy Township was a 19th-century township in Sonoma County, California, encompassing land that is now the towns of Sebastopol and Forestville.[1]
The name Analy comes from Annaly, a historic Irish lordship. Surveyor and politician Jasper O'Farrell owned the land in western Sonoma County (near present-day Occidental) that he named Annaly Ranch. After his death, some of the surrounding land was named Analy Township, parts of which were later incorporated as Sebastopol.[1]
Analy High School takes its name from the ranch.[1]
According to the 1920 United States census, Analy Township had a population of 6,526.[2]
