WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW

The city of Walnut Creek is in Contra Costa County, in the San Francisco Bay area of Northern California. Almost 70,000 people make their home in Walnut Creek. Walnut Creek was named after the Rancho Arroyo de las Nueces y Bolbones which in turn was named after the waterway Arroyo de las Nueces, which means Walnut Creek. “Bolbones” was in commemoration of the native tribe of the region.

The Walnut Creek area was originally inhabited by the Bay Miwok native tribes. The tribes living in the shadow of Mt. Diablo were sustained by the plentiful game, acorns, and roots and berries of the region.

Walnut Creek, like much of Contra Costa county, has its origins in the Mexican land grant system. Nearly 18,000 acres in what is now known as Walnut Creek was granted to Doña Juana Sanchez de Pacheco in recognition of the military service of her husband, Miguel. She renamed her land Rancho San Miguel. Her two grandsons, Ysidro and Ygnacio Sibrian, eventually inherited the property. Ygnacio Sibrian called his land Rancho Arroyo de Las Nueces y Bolbones and used it primarily to graze his cattle.

By the late 1850s, a small village formed at “The Corners,” named for its location at the intersection of two major roads, one from Pacheco to San Jose and the other from Oakland to Antioch. Today, this is the intersection of Mt. Diablo Boulevard and Main Street. In 1862, The Corners were officially renamed “Walnut Creek.”

In 1914, Walnut Creek and its surrounding open space was incorporated as Contra Costa County’s eighth city.

Bay area infrastructure improvements led to population growth in Walnut Creek and the surrounding towns. The 1936 opening of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the 1937 opening of the Caldecott Tunnel facilitated automobile commuting to San Francisco and Walnut Creek became a popular bedroom community. Between 1950 and 1970 Walnut Creek was the fastest-growing community in California, with the population growing from 2,000 to nearly 40,000.

In 1964, the 2,200 acre Stanley Dollar Ranch in the Tice Valley area of Walnut Creek became Rossmoor, a retirement community. The Dollar family had used the property to raise horses and prize Hereford cattle. The Dollar family home is still stands in Rossmoor and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, over 9,000 active seniors live in Rossmoor.

The Walnut Creek Open Space division manages over 3000 acres. This green belt is used for hiking, horseback riding and other outdoor activities. Currently, Walnut Creek has more open space per capita than any other city in California.
