The Mysterious Origin of Seventrees

Some of you may have noticed that Seven Trees Blvd is spelled differently than Seventrees branch library. This observation made one of our staff members curious about the origin of the name. We have been unable to determine why this neighborhood was named Seventrees. If anyone has an answer (real or fictitious) please come in and tell one of us! One good place to search for information about the history of San Jose and it's neighborhoods is the California room at the King Library on the fourth floor. Another good way to inquire is to ask anyone who has been living in this area since the 1950's. If you have a parent or grandparent who has been living in this area for a while, they might just know. The most creative (or correct) answer will be awarded a special prize.

Look luck in your finding. Cheers.
