Tucked between the Santa Cruz Mountains and Diablo Mountain range, the Santa Clara Valley is sheltered from the cold, damp climate of San Francisco, and even for the earliest humans who settled there, it was a fact greatly appreciated. The Oblone Indians were the first recorded settlers in the area, although it is likely other native peoples had been there earlier.

Intrepid English explorer/privateer Sir Francis Drake was the first known European to explore the area. He landed on July 17, 1579, in the San Francisco Bay and claimed the area for England. But the first permanent European settlements were made by the Spanish, who were bent on staking a claim before Russian explorers scouting the Pacific Coast could make inroads into Spain's ambitions. Father Junipero Serra gave Santa Clara Valley its lasting name. By 1825, Mission Pueblo de San Jose de Guadalupe was built on the site that now is occupied by the University of Santa Clara. Move over Indians, and make way for the typical California evolution.

There were, alas, no traveling notaries in those successive early settlements. But that has changed. Such a notary is always readily available now to put his or her seal on an important document that requires such a legal touch or which the client feels is important enough to be duly notarized so it cannot be disputed later on.

In 1848, the discovery of gold in the gravel bed of the American River increased the interest of the westering United States, which took over government in California in 1850 as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ending the Mexican-American War. The glut of American would-be gold diggers sent the historic population of the boom area into the Santa Clara Valley. Mining remained an historical fact until it became apparent that more reliable income could be realized from growing wine grapes. Another boost to the local economy came when "the American seed king," Charles Copeland Morse, founded his giant seed producing company.

When it was discovered that artesian wells flowed beneath the Santa Clara Valley, agriculture blossomed. Carrots, almonds, tomatoes, prunes, apricots, plums, walnuts, cherries and pears from the area soon found their way around the world. One of the remains of the era is the Charles Copeland Morse residence that is still preserved. Lumbering also became a staple of the local economy, along with products made from the wood, such as Cyclone windmills and coffins.

Santa Clara felt the effects of the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, but to a degree much less damaging than in San Francisco itself. The Landrum House in Santa Clara was one of the few buildings in the city that did not suffer damage as a result of the quake. The Paul Masson Mountain Winery had to be rebuilt. The builders used sandstone blocks from the neighboring Saratoga Wine Company's damaged building. There's really not a great threat of an earthquake at the moment, but just on the off chance, perhaps you should agree to meet with a Santa Clara mobile notary at the Masson Mountain Winery, which had earthquake resistance built into the new facility. Those notaries will go anywhere to accomplish the business of authenticating important documents ranging from wills to deeds to powers of attorney, to -- you name it. Regardless of where you meet, the job will be done right.
