San Anselmo’s creek setting and railroad-junction history give local projects a recognizable sense of place. LCP can carry your final copy and photographs across coordinated print, signs, mail and web. Municipal identity: Town of San Anselmo; Marin County. Incorporated: 1907. Council: Five at-large members; staggered four-year terms. Mayor selection: Council elects Mayor and Vice Mayor annually. Other elected municipal offices: Town Clerk and Town Treasurer. Incorporated in 1907, San Anselmo operates under a Town Council–Town Manager government. Five Councilmembers are elected at large, while the Town Clerk’s office combines an elected position with appointed staff who carry out daily administrative work. From a railroad junction to an incorporated Town. The Town’s short history connects San Anselmo Creek and the surrounding hills to Coast Miwok history, then traces the changes of the land-grant era. Railroad service reached the junction in 1874, with lines branching toward San Rafael and west toward Fairfax. Railroad maps initially used Junction before the San Anselmo name came into use in 1883. The completion of the San Francisco Theological Seminary in 1892 and the conversion of summer homes to permanent residences after the 1906 earthquake contributed to the community’s growth. Incorporation followed in 1907 after a close local vote. At-large Council seats and an elected Clerk office. San Anselmo uses a Town Council–Town Manager government. Five Councilmembers are elected at large for staggered four-year terms, with three seats in one regular cycle and two in the alternate cycle. The Council annually elects its Mayor and Vice Mayor. The Clerk’s office requires a further distinction: San Anselmo has an elected Town Clerk and an appointed staff position serving as Deputy Town Clerk for day-to-day duties. The office supports Council meetings, preserves legislative and historical records and administers elections. A reference to the elected office should not be confused with a staff contact title. Municipal nominations and county voter resources. The Town’s November 3, 2026 notice, called by Resolution 2026-4622, identifies two Council seats, the Town Clerk and Town Treasurer, each for a four-year term. Appointments are required to receive or file nomination papers. The Town Clerk’s office supplies the current municipal notice and nomination instructions. Marin County Elections provides county voter services and verifies municipal nomination signatures; official municipal candidate status is confirmed by the Town. Keep each San Anselmo office distinct in production. For signs, literature, mail and a website, begin with an approved brief naming Town of San Anselmo and the exact office. Council, Town Clerk and Town Treasurer are different contests; do not reuse a Council label or a Council-only checklist for the other elected offices. The at-large Council structure also differs from nearby Novato’s district system. Keep office wording, public contact details and required disclosures synchronized across formats. Confirm the current nomination instructions with the Town Clerk’s office before printing filing-related dates, and check applicable sign-placement rules separately. Historical railroad references can provide context, but should not substitute for the present municipal boundary when defining distribution.
