The Ohlone Native Americans lived here originally. Later, under the direction of the California Mission San Jose in 1796, the area served the mission as grazing land for the cattle and other herds. When the mission system was secularized between 1834 and 1837, the Rancho Las Positas grant was made to Robert Livermore. He was the first to plant vineyards and other fruit orchards. Livermore died before the town was named for him.
