San-Ramon Homes

San Ramon Homes

           San Ramon History

• Pre-1800s -- Seunen, Tatoun, Souyen, and Ohlone Indians inhabited the area that later came to be known as San Ramon. They traded with nearby Costanoans, who lived by valley creeks near present-day Danville.
• 1797 -- San Jose Mission, extending from San Jose to Danville, was established. San Ramon was included in its grazing lands.
• 1833 -- The vast Rancho San Ramon was established by Jose Maria Amador as a result of the Spanish land grants. The rancho extended from Dublin to San Ramon.
• 1846 -- The road not taken. Pioneers Joel Harlan, Minerva Fowler, and Leo and Jane Norris came to California in 1846 but declined to join the Donner party on their route. They missed the early Sierra winter; the Donner Party, tragically, did not.
• 1850 -- American settlers arrived when Leo Norris purchased 4,450 acres from Don Amador. Norris and partner William Lynch built the first frame house in the region, using redwoods cut in Oakland. They also planted the first barley crop. That same year, Contra Costa County was established.
• 1852 -- The town grows. Joel and Minerva Fowler Harlan built their first home on the county line, Major Samuel Russell lived on 600 acres near Norris Canyon, and James Dougherty (Dougherty Ranch) bought 10,000 acres from Don Amador. Many of San Ramon's familiar place names came from these first settlers -- Norris, Lynch, Harlan, McCamley, Crow, Cox, Bollinger, Fereira, Boone, Meese, Glass, and Wiedemann. Surviving homes include those of the Boone (Forest Homes Park), Glass, Harlan, and Wiedemann families.
• 1864 -- A stage line established by Brown and Co. ran through the San Ramon Valley from San Ramon to Oakland. The area included a general store, a jail, blacksmith shops, and a Chinese laundry along what would become San Ramon Valley Boulevard.
• 1867 -- Students left their home classrooms to attend the new San Ramon Grammar School.
• 1873 -- A permanent San Ramon post office was established. Until then, the area had been known as Brevensville, Lynchville, and Limerick, after early settlers Eli Breven and William Lynch, and the large Irish population. The first village was developed adjacent to San Ramon Creek at the intersection of Old Crow Canyon Road and San Ramon Valley Boulevard.
• 1891 -- The Southern Pacific Railroad's San Ramon branch to the village permanently settled the place name. Crops and passengers were now able to travel to and from the area.
• 1895 -- Attorney Thomas Bishop bought 3,000 acres from Norris. There, he raised cattle and sheep and planted hay and grain. His Bishop Ranch Shropshire purebred sheep were famous and earned numerous awards in the early 20th century.
• 1900s -- An array of civic and community groups developed in the San Ramon Valley, including the Grange, the International Organization of Odd Fellows, the San Ramon Valley Farm Bureau Women, the Rebeccas, and the Ramona Club, which later became the San Ramon Women's Club. The San Ramon Community Hall became the community's center early in the century, offering cultural activities such as plays, dances, and school programs to local ranchers and other residents.
• 1911 -- The Bartlett pear orchard at Bishop Ranch was known as the largest single orchard of Bartlett pears in the world, leading to San Ramon's designation as the "pear capital of the world."
• 1960s --Interstate 680 altered community life as suburban growth exploded. The Valley Community Services District provided urban services for these new homes, including parks, sewer, water, fire protection, and garbage collection.
• 1970s -- Western Electric purchased 1,733 acres of the Bishop Ranch and proposed a new town complete with a variety of housing, parks, stores, and light industry. Portions of the parcel were developed as housing tracts while 585 acres became Bishop Ranch Business Park.
• 1970 -- "San Ramon Village" appeared as a separate census designation for the first time with a population of 4,084. By 1975, the population had more than doubled to 12,782. The population was 22,356 by 1980, and 44,722 in 2000.

This step is called pre-qualification and can save you much time and trouble by making certain you are looking in the correct price range.
