Charles M Schulz, the creator of the Peanuts comic strip, in 1958 moved to Sebastopol, California, where Schulz built his first studio. (Until then, he'd worked at home or in a small rented office room.) It was here that Schulz was interviewed for the unaired television documentary A Boy Named Charlie Brown. Some of the footage was eventually used in a later documentary, Charlie Brown and Charles Schulz. Schulz's father died while visiting him in 1966, the same year Schulz's Sebastopol studio burned down.
By 1969, Schulz had moved to Santa Rosa, California, where he lived and worked until his death in 2000.
The Charles M. Schulz Museum opened in 2002 in Santa Rosa, across the street from the Charles M Schulz Ice Arena, designed by Schulz as a multi-purpose event center, which opened in 1969. It also housed shows and performances created by Schulz. He loved ice hockey, played actively as a senior, and was often hanging out in the cafe.

The Snoopy & Charlie Brown Sculpture was planned in 1998 and placed in 2001 on Historic Railroad Square in Santa Rosa, California railroadsquare.net

Colorful sculptures of Peanuts characters such as Lucy, Woodstock, and others are placed throughout town.
