San Ramon was once home to the Seunen Indians, Ohlone/Costanoans who lived adjacent to the valley
creeks.
After 1797 it was Mission San Jose grazing land; later it included Jose Maria Amador's 16,000
plus acre Rancho San Ramon. San Ramon Creek was named after an Indian vaquero, Ramon, who tended
mission sheep here. In an 1855 land title case, Don Amador explained that "San" was added to the
creek's name to conform with Spanish custom.
Today San Ramon is a dynamic young city, one of California's outstanding urban villages. It has a variety
of homes, parks and stores and a major employment center --- all in a setting of remarkable beauty.
