The city of San Jose was
the first capital of California, and was incorporated as a city in 1850.
It later grew to be the third largest city in California. This beautiful
map provides a look back to the early beginnings of the city, long
before it became known as "Silicon Valley." Also includes insets of the
city's early buildings. Complete reference list below.
The following text is included on
the map:
"The lines
of the Southern Pacific reach all parts of California and the Pacific
Coast. Its coast line is now complete and in operation, which places San
Jose directly on one of the great Transcontinental Thoroughfares of the
Nation."
