For the History Buff and Future Livermore Resident
July 6th, 2007 Categories: Dublin Real Estate, Livermore Community Info, Livermore Real Estate, Pleasanton Real Estate
Originally settled by Costonoan Indians, this region was part of Mission San Jose. Established in 1869 by William Mendenhall, it was named for Robert Livermore, an English sailor who settled in the area in 1835.
Livermore is located in the Tri-Valley region, East of San Francisco on Interstate 580. Living here allows for easy access to the San Francisco Bay metropolitan area and the Central Valley.
The Tri-Valley area includes the cities of Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon and Danville. Each community has its own unique flavor, from vintage main streets to restaurants and shopping.
Livermore offers community spirit and hospitality to the visitor and a tendency towards the futuristic for you as a fulltime resident. Boasting urban amenities and a relaxed California lifestyle, it’s no wonder the golden valley is a great place to call home.
For more about the lifestyle here in the Tri-Valley area, click here.
Livermore has a rich agricultural history. Today, ranches and vineyards continue in this area. Visit our website for a map of the local wineries and let us know if you would like to see homes for sale in Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin and San Ramon.
