Bodega was established in 1853 as Bodega Corners.

As in many historic communities, the earliest buildings burned down, and as a result, most of the historic buildings date to the 1870s or later. Today, Bodega features low-rise, woodframe, woodclad buildings in the Greek revival, Renaissance revival, Gothic revival and Italianate styles, along with vernacular structures.
