History
Thanks to the efforts of the San Rafael Improvement Club the Mosquito Abatement Act of 1915 was passed and the Marin Abatement District was formed; the first mosquito abatement district in California. Now known as the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District, we service all of Marin and Sonoma counties.
