Follow along from the construction of the neighborhood back to the planning of it; from the ranchers and log cabins that predated it, back to the region's Indigenous people and their eviction from the land . . . all the way back to the time of the dinosaurs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBefore I Lived Here\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us that history isn't something that happens far away, to other people--it's in our own backyards.
