{"product_id":"foster-city-foster-city-historical-society-9781531615390","title":"Foster City","description":"Many of California's cities evolved haphazardly, the natural but disorderly result of an early settlement expanding over time. Foster City, on the other hand, is an example of a community that was carefully envisioned and built according to a master plan. The city was conceived in the 1950s when real estate developer T. Jack Foster and his sons began the arduous task of preparing tidal mudflats on the San Francisco Bay's shore to support a series of roads, housing developments, industrial parks, and a picturesque but functional system of lagoons. Through the years, Foster City has risen from these humble beginnings to become a major Bay Area city, one that is home to 30,000 diverse residents and several important corporations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Foster City Historical Society, The Foster City Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531615392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531615390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Foster City Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979935252735,"sku":"9781531615390","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f69935ef-3eac-4384-97b1-f8a37cd85465.jpg?v=1683247483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foster-city-foster-city-historical-society-9781531615390","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
