In the 1840’s an oak forest grew near the present Lawrence Expressway, but brackish water and marshy soil limited tree growth in the region to the east providing an unobstructed view of Mission Santa Clara three miles ahead. The battle took place in this open plain.<br /><br />As you face towards City Hall, the battle area ranged from your left, towards Lawrence Expressway, to your right, towards the De La Cruz overpass. The American Expeditionary force emerged from the trees, on a road that reached the present El Camino Real at Pomeroy Avenue. At that point they first sighted the deployed rancheros on horseback on the open plain. When the Americans’ cannon mired in the mud, halting their march, the rancheros came closer. This site was near where today El Camino crosses Saratoga Creek. An exchange of gunfire occurred with no one hurt. The rancheros returned to their camp, within sight of the people watching from the mission rooftops. After extracting their cannon from the mud the Americans continued to the mission. The skirmishing lasted approximately two hours, but it took five days of negotiations before the official treaty ceremony ended the Battle of Santa Clara.<br /><br />Placed by the order of the Santa Clara Historical Landmarks Commission September 9, 2000 <p></p> Registered 9/3/1937 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/3d07d1221ad5df3e458b0de5a3b345eb.JPG f7df614cf92ec55b1ef0528f19c052e4 http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/9bb9fdd727711f6727aa1eb5ba61b09a.JPG 8ddb59ea8831949f58473880f0d00b4b http://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/2b6ef82289ca6e1f89b774727e0acda3.JPG 137d392bc3984da2cf7521ca45cca9b1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In 1938 the resort was purchased by H.K. Sakata, a successful Japanese American farmer from Watsonville. Renamed the Gilroy Yamato Hot Springs, it was the only Japanese American owned commercial hot springs in California. The resort served as a recreational and spiritual center for Japanese Americans before World War II and briefly as a hostel after the war for those returning from internment camps.<br /><br />Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with the Fukuyama International Inc., and Masaru Seido.&nbsp; October 22, 1995.&lt;p.

Here, Father McDonnell befriended a young Cesar Chavez and introduced him to a universe of writings about spirituality, labor rights, human rights, and social justice. Father McDonnell also introduced Chavez to Fred Ross, and the chapel became an important home for their work with the community service organization. Later renamed McDonnell Hall, Guadalupe Mission Chapel provided a foundation for Chavez's work with Dolores Huerta to co-found the United Farm Workers Union and maintains its historic association with Chavez, the UFW, immigrants, and all who are poor in spirit.<br /><br />Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with Bishop Patrick J.
