San Jose was the first town in the Spanish colony of Nueva
California (later Alta California), founded in 1777 as a farming
community to provide food for nearby military installations. It
served as the first capital of California after statehood was
granted in 1850. After over 150 years as an agricultural center,
increased demand for housing from soldiers and other veterans
returning from World War II and starting families, as well as
aggressive expansion during the 1950s and 1960s led first to San
Jose being a bedroom community for Silicon Valley in the 1970s,
then attracting businesses to the city; by 1990 the city was
calling itself the Capital of Silicon Valleyy.
