The European presence in the region began with the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, The arrival of the Spanish started when Russian exploration into California alarmed the Spanish viceroy in Mexico City. José de Gálvez, the visitor-general of New Spain, wanted to increase New Spain’s territory for the Spanish crown. He sent the Spanish forward into Alta California (present day California). Encountering the native Ohlone people, the Spanish gave them the name of Costeños, or People of the Coast. José Francisco Ortega gave Santa Clara the name “Llano de los Robles” (“Plain of the Oaks”) in 1769 as he scouted the region on the behalf of Captain Gaspar de Portolà. Father Junípero Serra also came into present-day California, establishing a chain of Franciscan missions. It was in 1777 that Father Serra gave Santa Clara Valley its lasting name when he consecrated the Mission Santa Clara de Asís, which is named for Saint Clare of Assisi, Italy. The name “Clare” or “Clara” means “clear” or bright. The 8th of the 21 established missions, Mission Santa Clara de Asís claimed land from San Francisquito Creek in present-day Palo Alto to Llagas Creek at Gilroy.

Interestingly, this map was thought to be the same map included in Coltons famous Atlas of the World. In addition to the map, this 1853 first edition book includes notes on the Mexican-American War, gold hunting and mining, as well as descriptions of early San Francisco and encounters with Native American Indians. Perhaps Larneds description of this work is most thorough.
