The City of Alameda is part of a former Spanish land grant stretching from San Leandro to Berkeley that was given to Luis Peralta in 1818, by the Governor of California. Peralta passed this land to his son, Antonio Peralta.
WW Chipman and Gideon Aughinbaugh, the first American settlers to arrive in Alameda, established a large peach orchard, which was the beginning of the area's development. Later, Chipman and Aughinbaugh purchased the Alameda land for the sum of $14,000.
The City of Alameda was formally organized on December 27, 1884. Three weeks later, on January 18, 1885, the Official Seal was approved and adopted. Its Latin inscription "Prosperitas terra mari que", freely translates as: "prosperity from the land and sea". The Island of Alameda was created in 1902 when a tidal canal ( the "Estuary") was created joining Oakland's harbor with the San Leandro Bay. With this move, Alameda was put on the map as an important shipping port.
Alameda is a charter city, which gives it the power to make and enforce ordinances and regulations in respect to its "municipal affairs" subject only to restrictions and limitations provided in its charter (Sec. 5, Article XI State Constitution). Alameda and six other California Cities, pioneered the Council-Manager form of government, in 1917. The system proved so effective that virtually all California cities have since adopted this form of government. The City's present charter was adopted in 1937, and created Alameda's Civil Service System.
Today, Alameda's elected officials, City staff, volunteer Boards and Commissions and special committees work together to preserve and enhance the quality of life Alamedans have enjoyed for more than a century. Resplendent Victorian homes grace shade tree-lined streets covering the island's 12.4 square miles. An invigorating climate, manicured parks, historical business districts and numerous recreational opportunities offer Alameda's almost 80,000 residents a special living environment.

Many of Concord's downtown buildings date back to the late 1800s and early
1900s. While some continue to be private residences, many have been restored as
office or commercial buildings. Concord has a rich cultural and architectural
heritage which is the legacy of the founding families of this City.
The center of downtown Concord is the green oasis of Todos Santos Plaza. Todos
Santos (All Saints) was the original name of the City. In the 1860s, Salvio
Pacheco, his son, and his son-in-law had the 20 acres, which is now downtown
Concord, surveyed for a new town. Nineteen blocks were plotted around a central
plaza which Don Salvio dedicated to the people of his new town for use as a
park. Today, Todos Santos Plaza continues to be the site for numerous community
festivals and celebrations.
There is no official documentation on the changing of the name of Todos Santos
to Concord. In May 1869, the new town residents held a party in a local store
to celebrate the founding of Concord.
Concord is among the best cities in the nation to raise children. In a study
called the Children's Stress Index by the Zero Population Growth organization,
Concord was ranked Number 2 out of California cities, counties and metropolitan
areas. Each location was judged on criteria such as kids' health and their
access to health care, education, crime rate, economics, and environment.
Concord is a place with a reverence for its past and a clear, confident sense
of where it is headed. It is a place for families. Local lifestyle reflects a
careful blending of the City's early California heritage with modern
development. This approach has resulted in a harmonious community of quiet
neighborhoods, an excellent park system, convenient shopping centers, a modern
high-rise business center, large preserves of scenic open space, and an
exciting downtown business core that radiates from historic Todos Santos Plaza.
