William Hewlett and David Packard start a company to produce their audio- oscillator; Walt Disney becomes the first customer of Hewlett-Packard, purchasing their oscillator for the animation film "Fantasia" About Silicon Valley

The County of Santa Clara, also referred to as "Silicon Valley", is located at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay. The fertile Santa Clara Valley runs the entire length of the county from north to south, ringed by the rolling hills of the Diablo Range on the east, and the Santa Cruz Mountains on the west. Salt marshes and wetlands lie in the northwestern part of the county, adjacent to the waters of San Francisco Bay.

Today, the county is a major employment center for the region, providing more than a quarter of all jobs in the Bay Area. The county's population of more than 1.8 million is one of the largest in the state, following Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange counties, and the largest of the nine Bay Area counties. Its population constitutes about one fourth of the Bay Area's total population. There are 15 cities ranging from Palo Alto in the north, to Gilroy in the south. San José is the largest city in the county, with a population of nearly one million, and is the administrative site of county government. A significant portion of the county's land area is unincorporated ranch and farmland. Nearly 92% of the population lives in cities.

In sports and recreation, San José is home to teams for professional soccer (San José Earthquakes), minor league baseball (San José Giants), and professional hockey (San José Sharks). The County is home to three major universities - Stanford University, Santa Clara University and San José State University.

Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Santa Clara County, CA include Hewlett-Packard (10), Apple (17), Intel (51), Cisco Systems (64), Google (73), eBay (228), Applied Materials (251), Agilent Technologies (375), Sanmina-SCI (376), AMD (378), Symantec (391), SanDisk (430), NetApp (474), and Yahoo (483). Regional Governance Overview The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is the regional planning agency for the nine counties and 101 cities and towns of the San Francisco Bay region. ABAG is committed to lead the region through advocacy, collaboration, and excellence in planning, research, housing, and member services to advance the quality of life in the San Francisco Bay Area. ABAG’s planning and service programs work to address regional economic, social, and environmental challenges.

Almost fifty years ago, Bay Area leaders recognized the need to address common issues from a regional perspective. As a result, in 1961, elected officials from the region’s cities, towns, and counties formed a council of governments, the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). Since inception, ABAG has examined regional issues such as housing, transportation, economic development, education, and environment. In 1970, ABAG broke ground developing the Regional Plan, 1970-1990, the Bay Area’s first comprehensive 1951 1952 1946

He later bought adjoining properties totaling more than 8,000 acres. Within weeks of the death of their only son, they considered several possibilities to memorialize him. They decided to establish two institutions in Leland Junior's name - the university and a museum. The university would be coeducational, in a time when most were all-male; non-denominational, when most were associated with a religious organization; and avowedly practical, producing "cultured and useful citizens." On October 1, 1891, Stanford University opened its doors. Research and Innovation The synthesis of teaching and research is fundamental to Stanford. All faculty do scholarly research, most often in association with graduate students or advanced undergraduates. Stanford is noted for multidisciplinary research within its schools and departments, as well as its independent laboratories, centers and institutes. There are more than 5,100 externally sponsored projects throughout the university, with the total budget for sponsored projects at $1.2 billion during 2011-12, including the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC). Of these projects, the federal government sponsors approximately 84.1 percent, including SLAC. In addition, nearly $193 million in support comes from non-federal funding sources. There are nearly 1,900 postdoctoral scholars involved in research at the university. Research grants from the National Institutes of Health to the Stanford School of Medicine account for $334,468,844 of the federal funding. Stanford Research Park Stanford Research Park was created in 1951 in response to the demand for industrial land near university resources and an emerging electronics industry tied closely to the School of Engineering. Today, the park is home to more than 150 companies with about 23,000 employees in electronics, software, biotechnology and other high-tech fields. Research and development and supporting service companies occupy some 10 million square feet in more than 160 buildings spread over 700 acres. Office of Technology Licensing Stanford’s Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) brings technology created at Stanford to market. In 2010–11, Stanford received more than $66.8 million in gross royalty revenue from 600 technologies. Thirty-two of the inventions generated $100,000 or more in royalties. Six inventions generated $1 million or more. In 2010–11, OTL concluded 101 new licenses and evaluated about 450 new invention disclosures. 1985 1982

In 2011, SHC had 465 beds and 49 operating rooms with a medical staff of 1,907, a house staff of 1,044 residents and interns, and a nursing staff of 1,937 RNs, 17 LVNs and 154 nursing assistants. There were 25,360 inpatient admissions and 51,211 emergency patient visits. The 311-bed Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital provides pediatric and obstetric medical and surgical services with a medical staff of 817 and 2,752 employees.

Their education model has attracted attention from politicians, educators and philanthropies. The Obama Administration has invested $2 million for planning grants to accelerate growth. Rocketship leaders discuss expanding to 50 cities by 2020. Unlike its charter school peers, after start-up costs, Rocketship operates with a budget comparable to a traditional public school, minus funding public schools receive for infrastructure and facilities.

Rocketship uses customized software for students the first two hours of each day – a savings of approximately 25% on labor. These computer-based assignments are typically rote tasks — math drills, for example — which allow educators to focus on complex, higher “value add” activities. Savings are reallocated for a longer school day, 10% higher salaries, 10% performance bonuses and facilities. Where there are results, they are positive and preliminary. Of the 2,400 students who attended Rocketship schools in May, roughly 1,800 are in kindergarten through second grade, areas where comparable assessments less frequent than later grades. Higher Education and Workforce Development Founded in 1857 as a normal school to train teachers, San José State University is the oldest public school of higher education in the state of California. The university provides 69 bachelor and 65 master degree programs serving more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students in seven colleges.

Minimum wage initiative In May 2012, San José City Council placed an item on the November 2012 ballot, allowing San José voters to consider an initiative ordinance that will implement and enforce a minimum wage of $10 per hour. If enacted, the ordinance allows for annual adjustments base on consumer price index data. Presently, the minimum wage in the state of California is $8 per hour, which is higher than the federal minimum wage of $7.25. The proposed ordinance began as a petition effort of students at San José State University with the original intent of having San José City Council adopting the higher minimum wage outright. The City of San Francisco passed a similar ordinance in 2003 with annual adjustments resulting in a current minimum wage of $10.24 per hour. 2011 2012
