Danville ca Wedding

Danville is a town located in a part of Contra Costa County, California called the San Ramon Valley, United States. The population was 41,715 at the 2000 census. It is considered an upscale suburb of Oakland and San Francisco.

Danville is named, in part, after Daniel Inman, who bought 400 acres (1.6 km) there in 1854 with his brother Andrew, using their Gold Rush earnings. They rejected the name "Inmanville" and settled on Danville. However, "According to the modest Dan, the name was chosen as much or more out of respect for Andrew's mother-in-law, who was born and raised near Danville, Ky.," says one historical account. It was initially a farming community, switching from wheat to fruits and nuts after the Southern Pacific Railroad built a spur line through the area in 1891. It developed as a residential suburb starting in 1947, when the first sizeable housing tracts were constructed, and its population boomed in the 1970s and 1980s.

Danville is located at 374841N, 1215827W (37.811476, -121.974192)GR1.
