  • Looking Back — Early Glimpses of Union City
    Looking Back Early Glimpses of Union City Published by the City of Union City Copyright 1978 Dedication This book is dedicated to the people who settled the lands that became Alvarado and Decoto, and to those who worked to bring about the incorporation of Alvarado and Decoto into one city, Union City. "Looking Back: Early Glimpses of Union City" Compiled and edited by Nancy A. Nickel Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 77-99183 Digital edition was published in 2012. It was converted to digtalized by volunteers at the Museum of Local History (www.museumoflocalhistory.org). Cover Photograph: Early image of the first courthouse in Alameda Couty (the building in the middle of the photograph). Page 2 Foreword In 1959, the rural communities of Alvarado and Decoto, fearing the future loss of their identity, determined to fend off the encroachment of neighboring Hayward to the north, and Fremont to the south, and decided to unite and incorporate as a new city to be known as Union City. In 1977, this fast-developing city has a population of over 33,000, a light-industrial supported tax base and full scale residential, recreational, and retail complexes. The supergrowth in the last decade has brought the city the usual suburban problems. It is important that the segments of economic, social and cultural life in Union City be brought to an appreciation of the rich historical and cultural heritage that the area possesses and that heritage be recorded as the city and its people grow and change. In sponsoring this informal history of the area, the Union City City Council and the Union City Bicentennial Committee have performance a great service to the community.
