Here are some pictures of Old Danville and these are from the walls of the Museum of the San Ramon Valley and deal with mostly, the Danville line of the Southern Pacific Railroad which came to the valley in 1891....I just wanted you to get a feel of how it looked like in Danville in the 1800's.Thanks again to the Museum of the San Ramon Museum located at now 205 Railroad Ave, Danville, Ca 94526; for letting me take pictures inside the museum and letting me explore a bit for this Danville History blog.

History significance:the Southern Pacific linked most of the citrus, walnut and other fruit and vegetables fields of the Sam Ramon Valley to California and the outside world. This is also important for a industry that would become quite known in California, the Vineyeard and wine business.This line which stopped in Danville, went onto one of the Bay Area's premiere grape growing areas, Livermore Valley. I will be using the the San Ramon Valley Line of the Southern Pacific Railroad as a primary source, as this pretty much changed Danville and made the San Ramon Valley, the way it is, along with the 680 freeway which i will also discuss in Blog #4.
