San Jose

San Jose is best known within California for its role as the capital of Silicon Valley. Set in the Santa Clara Valley, the city lies beside the Guadalupe River and serves as the county seat of Santa Clara County. Founded in 1777 as El Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe, it was California’s first civilian settlement. Downtown combines technology offices and arts venues with reminders of its early past: the Peralta Adobe, built in 1797, is San Jose’s oldest surviving structure. San Pedro Square forms part of the historic core, while the Tech Interactive reflects the region’s continuing focus on science and innovation.
