Jewell, California
Jewell was an unincorporated area, unincorporated community in Marin County, California, Marin County, California. It was located west-southwest of Novato, California, Novato. In the 1860s, the site was a dairy and pig farm owned by Omar Jewell. When the Northwestern Pacific Railroad was built nearby, Jewell sold a right-of-way across his land and a Request stop, flagstop called Jewells was set up on the ranch. In the 1930s, a strip of land between Lagunitas Creek and the Sir Francis Drake Highway was subdivided into small lots where city dwellers built weekend cottages.
