San Jose Neighborhoods - Santa Clara real estate
The historic center of Santa Clara Valley, Santa Clara's
Mission Santa Clara de Asis, was founded in 1777 by Father Junipero
Serra. A small community of Californios and Ohlones sprang up around
it, which has now swelled to about 100,000. The makeup of the population
has changed, of course, as has almost everything else about this densely-packed
city. Its southern half is residential and largely middle-class. To
the north are industrial parks which house some of the real giants of
the technology industry: 3Com, Intel, Yahoo!, National Semiconductor,
Applied Materials, and Synoptics. The Mission is still there, however
(the present building, dating from 1928, is the latest in a series of
churches destroyed by floods, earthquakes, and fires), on the grounds
of the University of Santa Clara.
