Images of America - Dublin

Nestled in the wooded hills east of the San Francisco Bay, Dublin's sprawling valley has welcomed people from a variety of backgrounds throughout its rich history. At the heart of the tri-valley region, this former agricultural area has grown exponentially over the years, forming a modern city with a solid community-oriented heritage. From California's first native inhabitants, through the Spanish and Mexican periods, to the arrival of the first American settlers, Dublin has long been at the crossroads of culture and settlement.

Author Mike Lynch has gathered a unique array of images from a variety of private and public sources located throughout the tri-valley area. Together with Elizabeth Isles, director of the Dublin Heritage Center, they have compiled this remarkable volume of Dublin's story through the invaluable contributions of many people, preserving the histories and imagery of Dublin's community.

The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all.
