In 1820 Don Luis Peralta owned 14,330 acres of land on the east side of San Francisco Bay. His Rancho San Antonio was so big that it covered all the land that is Piedmont, Berkeley and Oakland today.

One newcomer was a man named Walter Blair. He was born in Vermont but moved to California in 1852. He bought 600 acres of land from the Peraltas for $1.25 per acre. He built a dairy on Highland Avenue. He started a quarry where Dracena Park is now and sold the stones to the city of Oakland to pave the streets.

In the 1880's there were only seven houses where the City of Piedmont is now.

As Piedmont starts a new century, there are many names from the past that are still part of everday life. Havens School is named for the man who rebuilt Piedmont Park. Blair Avenue is named for the the farmer and businessman who first settled here and Craig Avenue is named for the man who led the fight to become a city. Highland Avenue and Requa Road remember one of the first seven families to settle in their community.
