In 1850, American settlers began to move to San Ramon. Within a few years, the area began to flourish, as a stagecoach line, church and railroad line were all established in the area. The new forms of transportation and amenities brought more people to the once small community. The town remained based in agriculture until the 1960s.

When suburban development started in the area during the '60s, new housing brought an influx of people to the area. Citizens decided to officially incorporate in 1983 to gain access to better amenities and services. Significant growth in the past few decades has led to more than 73,000 citizens to call San Ramon home. The once-forgotten small town just outside the Bay Area is now a thriving city that takes pride in its small town roots.
