San José was founded in 1777, and is the oldest civil settlement in California.The missions here are incredible. It was also the state’s first capital (before California became an official state), with the first legislature convening in a two-story adobe in December 1849. Primarily an agricultural-focused city in the early to mid-20th century, San José is now known as the Capital of Silicon Valley for the area’s many high technology companies. Symbols of the city’s long history can still be found in the complex known as History Park, which includes the preserved and restored Peralta Adobe, built in 1797; the Fallon House, built in 1855; a historic working trolley and 25-acres of turn-of-the-century landmark buildings located at Kelley Park
