Santa Clara County California "Valley Of Heart's Delight" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781441477972)

In 1914, Santa Clara County California was proud to be an agricultural paradise, famous the world over. This reprint of a Santa Clara County guide from 1914 highlights the time when the region was known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" and flowering orchards covered the valley floor. As the 20th century progressed, the orchards and farms would give way to "Silicon Valley" and the birth of a new industry for the county. In addition to agriculture, the short guide from 1914 has articles on Stanford, San Jose institutions, plus 15 cities and towns including: San Jose, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, Mayfield, Mountain View, Gilroy, Saratoga, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Campbell, Los Gatos and Los Altos.
