The county was formed on March 25, 1853, from a large portion of Contra Costa County and a smaller portion of Santa Clara County. Much of what is now considered an intensively urban region, with major cities, was developed as a trolley car suburb of San Francisco in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The historical progression from Native American tribal lands to Spanish, then Mexican ranches, then to farms, ranches, and orchards, then multiple city centers and suburbs, is shared with the adjacent and closely associated Contra Costa County. This detailed narrative gives an in-depth view of the county's history.

Christmas is our most important holiday, and its literature is correspondingly rich. Yet until now no adequate bundle of Christmas treasures in poetry and prose has found its way into the library of Santa Claus.

This Introduction endeavors to be as suggestive as possible to parents and teachers who are personally conducted and introduced to the host of writers learned and quaint, human and pedantic, humorous and brilliant and profound, who have dealt technically with this fascinating subject.

Der Kies knirschte in der Auffahrt des weitläufigen Parkgrundstücks, ehe der Mann den englischen Sportwagen vor der breiten Freitreppe stoppte. Der Butler des Filmstars June Armando empfing den Gast eher ungnädig. »Sie haben sich verspätet, Sir. Miss Armando erwartet Sie bereits.« »Ist June allein?« Der junge Mann ließ sich nicht aus dem Konzept bringen. »Ja, Sir.« Der Butler blieb steif – und riss jäh die Augen auf, als der Lauf des Revolvers in der Hand des Besuchers hochschwang. Er streckte noch abwehrend die Hände vor, da blitzte und krachte es schon. Das Geschoss drang in die Stirn des Butlers und tötete ihn auf der Stelle. Der Killer glättete die Bügelfalten und richtete das Armani-Jackett. Dann versenkte er den Revolver in der Tasche, nahm eine einzelne Rose vom Rücksitz des Sportwagens und stieg die Treppe hoch.
