A Brief History of San Ramon
The earliest inhabitants of San Ramon included the Seunen Indians and the Ohlone tribe. After 1797, the area was part of the grazing lands from Mission San Jose. American settlers soon followed in the 1850s, attracted by the ideal farming conditions. San Ramon was soon connected to Oakland with the arrival of the railway in 1864, spawning an even bigger period of growth.
San Ramon takes its name from the San Ramon Creek, named after an Indian cowboy known as Ramon. During the 19th century, San Ramon had several different names, including Limerick for the numerous Irish settlers.
Agriculture remained a mainstay here. The Bishop Ranch was established during this timeframe, focusing on raising cattle and growing fruit, grain, and walnuts. Today, visitors can learn more about San Ramon’s history and even visit one of the first homes built here.
