Download or read book Pleasanton written by Mary-Jo Wainwright and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-10 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Pleasanton, located in the beautiful Amador-Livermore valley, was formed in 1867 when immigrants John Kottinger and Joshua Neal used land from their Californio wives dowries and laid out a town. Kottinger named the city after Civil War general Alfred Pleasonton, but a postal clerical error changed the spelling to Pleasanton and the name stuck. The men secured Pleasantons future by offering land to the Western Pacific Railroad for a railroad station and landing. Planning for future growth thus became a legacy that is still embraced by this modern city of 70,000 people. Today families and tourists are attracted to Pleasantons historic downtown, where 19thcentury buildings still stand and people stroll among its many shops and restaurants.
