The Ohlone people were the first known inhabitants of the Bay Area. Spanish explorers and missionaries started coming in the 18th century and founded the pueblo of San Jose in 1777. Along with the rest of California, San Jose came under Mexican control in 1821, then under American control in 1846. It became the first capital of California in 1850 and remained a chiefly agricultural town for much of its history.

San Jose shifted to a manufacturing-based economy during and after World War II. The city became known as a center for high-tech development, earning it the nickname “The Capital of Silicon Valley.” More than one million people live in San Jose today, and about 8.5 million people live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Popular attractions include the Children’s Discovery Museum, the Tech Museum of Innovation, and the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.
