The History of Alamo

This month’s presenters were the authors of the book Historic Tales of Alamo, local historians Beverly Lane and Sharon Burke. Beginning with the area’s geology and native peoples, Historic Tales of Alamo tells the story of the history of this vibrant community in the north part of the San Ramon Valley.

During the presentation, they talked about the early settlers, the origin of Alamo’s name, the early ranchos, and title controversies. In addition, the program covered the twentieth century challenges the community has faced. Beverly and Sharon presented rarely seen photographs of Alamo too.
