Thanks, firefighter! I believe it is near to San Francisco in Sonoma County, California. The only reference I've found on it is this one citing an 1868 newspaper:

Naturally, the badge I have dates to much later. It also appears at some point to have had the numbers and letters repainted and then the badge sealed with some kind of clear lacquer.

Interesting.I did a little more looking, different word combo's, and found that there was a place near SF/Presidio. A place called Ft Mason. https://urbanlifesigns.blogspot.com/2013/01/forgotten-hills-fort-masons-black-point.html

Thanks again! Yeah, I think at this point I'm OK with leaving it as being in California in or near SF. Here's another:

Another nice one.

Fort Mason is in California. It looks out over San Francisco Bay.
