History

The Hagemann Ranch Historic District consists of a late 19th-century farmhouse, built in 1870, and eleven related outbuildings that are contributing properties. It was one of the first ranches established after the 1869 break up of the land grant, Rancho Valle de San José.[4] [5] The property is located one and one half miles west of downtown Livermore, surrounded by a subdivision of single family homes. From the time it was built in 1870 until 1962, the Hagemann Ranch was a working farm for cattle grazing; horse raising; the production of wheat, hay, orchards and vines. The other contributing properties include two chicken coops, a cow barn, a milk barn, a horse barn, a blacksmith shop, a granary, a garage, an equipment shed, and a pump House/windmill.

In the 1950s, much of the surrounding farmland was turned into housing, used by many of the workers at the newly established Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory). It is located next to Hagemann Park.
