Fun facts about real estate

The city of Irvine was adjudged the 4th best place to live in America by the popular magazine, CNN Money.

For clean air, Novato, CA, tops the list, with 100% pollution-free air, as per standards laid down by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Another fun fact is that Santa Clara County, commonly referred to as the Silicon Valley, is placed 16th in the list of areas with the lowest average BMI.

The history of Irvine is simple. The Wikipedia article on Irvine, California states that as of December 28, 1971, “Irvine is an incorporated city in Orange County, California, United States.

From the Ohlone to Silicon

The Ohlone were the first recorded residents of the Santa Clara Valley, and lived in Coyote Creek and Calaveras Creek, in 8000 BC. The European presence in California began with the arrival of famed English explorer, Sir Francis Drake, on July 17, 1579. Drake claimed the land for England and after his departure it took 200 years for settlers from any other European country to establish themselves. However, California was soon swarming with the Spanish and the Russians.

The county acquired its current name in 1777, when Father Junípero Serra came to California in order to establish a chain of Franciscan missions. He named the valley “Clare” or “Clara” meaning “clear”, and the land extended from present-day Palo Alto to Gilroy. San Jose was California's first town, founded by nine Spanish soldiers, five settlers and one cowboy, on orders from the Spanish viceroy of Mexico on November 29, 1777, and named after St. Joseph.

The Santa Clara Valley, more popularly known as the Silicon Valley, has since grown from the small township it was in 1777, to the massive, industrialised tract of land it is today. If you are interested in acquiring real estate in Silicon Valley, contact Dale Warfel.
