Overview

Set in the middle of a lush California valley, in the last century Danville has grown from an agrarian hamlet to a bustling town.

On land that once belonged to native peoples whose lives were upended by Spanish conquest, a new generation of pioneers and forty-niners stayed for the fertile land. Farms and ranches took root, and a community arose. The Danville Grange No. 85, a fraternal order, worked to promote better farming practices and spurred on the founding of the town's first library. Nobel prize-winning playwright Eugene O'Neill called Danville home when he wrote his final, great plays including Long Day's Journey into Night, twenty years before a brand-new freeway led the charge into the modern era.
