Nestled in the wooded hills east of the San Francisco Bay, Dublin s sprawling valley has welcomed people from a variety of backgrounds throughout its rich history. At the heart of the tri-valley region, this former agricultural area has grown exponentially over the years, forming a modern city with a solid community-oriented heritage. From California s first native inhabitants, through the Spanish and Mexican periods, to the arrival of the first American settlers, Dublin has long been at the crossroads of culture and settlement."
