History
The area that is now Gilroy was originally inhabited by the Ohlone people, who lived in the area for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The first Europeans to settle in the area were Spanish missionaries, who established the Mission Santa Clara de Asís in 1777. The mission was the first in California and was the site of the first vineyard in the state.
In the mid-1800s, the area was settled by American settlers, who established farms and ranches in the area. The town of Gilroy was founded in 1870 by John Gilroy, a Scottish immigrant who had come to California during the Gold Rush. He purchased land in the area and began to develop it, planting vineyards and orchards and building a hotel. The town was named after him and grew rapidly, becoming a center for agriculture and commerce.
