In the half century after World War II, California’s Santa Clara Valley transformed from a rolling landscape of fields and orchards into the nation’s most consequential high-tech industrial corridor. How Santa Clara Valley became Silicon Valley and came to embody both the triumphs and the failures of a new vision of the American West is the question Jason A. Heppler explores in this book. A revealing look at the significance of nature in social, cultural, and economic conceptions of place, the book is also a case study on the origins of American environmentalism and debates about urban and suburban sustainability. Between 1950 and 1990, business and community leaders pursued a new vision of the landscape stretching from Palo Alto to San Jose—a vision that melded the bucolic naturalism of orchards, pleasant weather, and green spaces with the metropolitan promise of modern industry, government-funded research, and technology. Heppler describes the success of a new, clean, future-facing economy, coupled with a pleasant, green environment, in drawing people to Silicon Valley. And in this overwhelming success, he also locates the rapidly emerging faults created by competing ideas about forming these idyllic communities—specifically, widespread environmental degradation and increasing social stratification. Cities organized around high-tech industries, suburban growth, and urban expansion were, as Heppler shows, crucibles for empowering elites, worsening human health, and spreading pollution. What do “nature” and “place” mean, and who gets to define these terms? Key to Heppler’s work is the idea that these questions reflect and determine what, and who, matters in any conversation about the environment. Silicon Valley and the Environmental Inequalities of High-Tech Urbanism vividly traces that idea through the linked histories of Silicon Valley and environmentalism in the West.

Winner of the Western History Association's 2009 Hal K. Rothman Award Finalist in the Western Writers of America Spur Award for the Western Nonfiction Contemporary category (2008). The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the world's most beautiful cities. Despite a population of 7 million people, it is more greensward than asphalt jungle, more open space than hardscape. A vast quilt of countryside is tucked into the folds of the metropolis, stitched from fields, farms and woodlands, mines, creeks, and wetlands. In The Country in the City, Richard Walker tells the story of how the jigsaw geography of this greenbelt has been set into place. The Bay Area�s civic landscape has been fought over acre by acre, an arduous process requiring popular mobilization, political will, and hard work. Its most cherished environments--Mount Tamalpais, Napa Valley, San Francisco Bay, Point Reyes, Mount Diablo, the Pacific coast--have engendered some of the fiercest environmental battles in the country and have made the region a leader in green ideas and organizations. This book tells how the Bay Area got its green grove: from the stirrings of conservation in the time of John Muir to origins of the recreational parks and coastal preserves in the early twentieth century, from the fight to stop bay fill and control suburban growth after the Second World War to securing conservation easements and stopping toxic pollution in our times. Here, modern environmentalism first became a mass political movement in the 1960s, with the sudden blooming of the Sierra Club and Save the Bay, and it remains a global center of environmentalism to this day. Green values have been a pillar of Bay Area life and politics for more than a century. It is an environmentalism grounded in local places and personal concerns, close to the heart of the city. Yet this vision of what a city should be has always been informed by liberal, even utopian, ideas of nature, planning, government, and democracy. In the end, green is one of the primary colors in the flag of the Left Coast, where green enthusiasms, like open space, are built into the fabric of urban life. Written in a lively and accessible style, The Country in the City will be of interest to general readers and environmental activists. At the same time, it speaks to fundamental debates in environmental history, urban planning, and geography.

This agricultural history explores the transformation of the Santa Clara Valley over the past one hundred years from America's largest fruit-producing region into the technology capital of the world. In the latter half of the twentieth century, the region's focus shifted from fruits—such as apricots and prunes—to computers. Both personal and public rhetoric reveals how a sense of place emerges and changes in an evolving agricultural community like the Santa Clara Valley. Through extensive archival research and interviews, Anne Marie Todd explores the concepts of place and placelessness, arguing that place is more than a physical location and that exploring a community's sense of place can help us to map how individuals experience their natural surroundings and their sense of responsibility towards the local environment. Todd extends the concept of sense of place to describe Silicon Valley as a non-place, where weakened or disrupted attachment to place threatens the environment and community. The story of the Santa Clara Valley is an American story of the development of agricultural lands and the transformation of rural regions.

“Nobody wanted to go at first. California was practically uninhabited except for the Indians. Those first residents had to be paid to go and there were few takers. The first years were hard and supplies scarce. Still, those early families managed to grow enough foodstuffs to plant a firm hold in the land. It was truly a cultural melding from the first — of Indian, Spanish and Mexican people and a few others. Then in 1848, California joined the United States. That move — and the lure of gold nearby — gave the city the boost it needed.” “Newcomers soon realized the land was good. Fruits and flowers were abundant and the climate mild. It was the kind of place men dreamed of — and many followed their dreams. They called it the Garden City. Like all cities, it had its problems. But its leaders were both dreamers and doers — they anticipated, prepared and planned. The growth from a struggling outpost to a complex cultural and economic society has been a major evolution — and a tribute to those who made their dreams — and the city of San Jose — come true.” San Jose: California’s First City California’s first city, San jose, represents a microcosm of the development of the Golden State’s urban centers. Over the last two centuries, the “Garden City” has occupied an important position as California’s first civilian settlement, first state capital, leading agricultural center and nucleus of the space-age electronics industry. As narrated by the distinguished historian Edwin A. Beilharz, San jose was founded as a planned civil settlement. In 1777, Governor Felipe de Neve established the pueblo in the lush Santa Clara Valley to provide a reliable food source for the growing yet isolated colony of Alta California. It soon emerged as a major producer of cereal grains, orchard fruit and cattle. During the Spanish and Mexican era, San Jose also served as a social center for the nearby ranchos and attracted such influential families as Peralta, Suriol, Castro and Vasquez. By the late 1830s and 1840s, foreign visitors eyed California with envy. Several saw the promise of the verdant valley. Political upheavals in Mexico made possible the easy assimilation of non-Mexican residents. With the conclusion of the Mexican War and the ‘Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, San _lose and California became a formal possession of the United States. Donald O. DeMers takes up the story with the establishment of American rule in California. The discovery of gold on the American River changed the entire complexion of California and quickly led to admission as a state in 1850. As the result of a strong lobbying effort, the newly formed state government selected San Jose as its first capital. Political infighting ensued, and the state Legislature moved the capital to Benecia after only one year. Despite this blow, the city on the Guadalupe River continued to expand, capitalizing on its mild climate, abundant water supply, proximity to San Francisco Bay and fertility of the Santa Clara Valley. Confusion over Mexican land grants also opened vast tracts of land for development. San Jose took prominence in wine production, fruit raising, silk culture, nurseries and agricultural experimentation. The advent of the railroad made possible the establishment of a packing and shipping economy. The pueblo was soon transformed from a collection of crude adobes to one of frame houses, brick business blocks, schools, churches, theaters and parks replete with horsecars traveling along tree-lined streets. After the 1906 earthquake, San Jose entered the twentieth century as a typical American city. It experienced the anxiety of World War 1, jubilation of the 1920s, subterfuge of prohibition and the Great Depression. During this time, too, sensational events rocked the city _ the tragic Hart kidnapping and the lynchings at St. _lames Park. World War ll shifted the socio-economic base from a land of gardens and orchards to that of a defense production center. The burgeoning population of defense workers, engineers and scientists created a new force for continued development. Excerpt From: Edwin A. Beilharz and Donald O.
