City of San Leandro
 San Leandro was first discovered on March 20, 1772 by Spanish soldier Captain Pedro Fages and the Spanish Catholic priest Father Crespi. In 1849 the Gold Rush struck California, and thousands journeyed to the state in search of wealth and prosperity.  San Leandro was incorporated as a town on March 21, 1872, one hundred years and a day after the area was first discovered. During and after World War II, San Leandro underwent explosive population growth.  The population doubled and thousands of homes sprang up in the community.  Today, San Leandro's industrial makeup of the City has been changing, moving away from its traditional manufacturing base toward more of an emphasis on services and warehousing industries.   New shopping centers are opening or being renovated to keep up with the expanding residential demand for commercial services.
