About Pleasanton
Pleasanton is a city located in Alameda County, California and
was incorporated in 1894. According to the city's website, the
city has a total population of 67,724. Pleasanton is home to the
headquarters of Safeway Inc. and the now-defunct PeopleSoft. Kaiser
Permanente has its new location in place of the PeopleSoft headquarters.
It is also home to Foothill High School and Amador Valley High
School. Although Oakland is the county seat of Alameda County,
many county offices and the Alameda County Fairgrounds are located
in Pleasanton. The Alameda County Fair is held yearly at the end
of June. he town was founded and named by John W. Kottinger, an
Alameda County justice of the peace, after his friend, Union army
cavalry Major General Alfred Pleasonton. A typographical error
by a U.S. Postal Service employee apparently led to the current
spelling. In the 1850s, the town was nicknamed "The Most
Desperate Town in the West" and it was ruled by bandits and
desperados. Main Street shootouts were not uncommon. Bandits,
such as Joaquin Murrieta, would ambush prospectors on their way
back from the gold rush fields and then seek refuge in Pleasanton.
This reputation passed and in 1917, Pleasanton became the backdrop
for the film Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, which starred Mary Pickford.
The town is also known for the resort that the Phoebe Apperson
owned there. http://www.ci.pleasanton.ca.us/
