You’ve Seen the Book – Now You Can Meet the Author
Why are place names important? From the Native Americans to the various European settlers, each wave of migration left their mark upon the land. Many names have long since disappeared but are still found on old maps and documents.
Some names have interesting or amusing stories attached to them. Others have been misunderstood. Several have mysterious origins and some have fascinating historic events associated with them.
This talk will briefly explore a few of these aspects behind our historic place names. This compilation stems from years assisting researchers and genealogists at the Contra Costa County Historical Society.
