Didn’t Ross get its name because it was originally a Russian outpost in the 18th cntury? Or, am I thinking of another town along the coast? The place I’m thinking of had a beautiful old, wooden Russian church in a Fort. Rewood burnished to a lovely grey with age. Unfortunately, vandals set the church on fire, and it burned to the ground about 30 years ago. I’m glad I saw it before it was gone.
Ross is located between San Anselmo and Kenfield
I'm betting youre thinking of Fort Ross..which began as a russian settlement

the Flag out near Nicasion is located at the crossroads of Nicasio Valley Road and Lucas Valley Road as it turns out
I seldom read road signs these days...
