History

The Hagemann Ranch Historic District consists of a late 19th-century farmhouse, built in 1870, and eleven related outbuildings that are contributing properties.[3] It was one of the first ranches established after the 1869 break up of the land grant, Rancho Valle de San José.[5][6] The property is located one and one half miles west of downtown Livermore, surrounded by a subdivision of single family homes.[3] 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.[5] 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.[3]

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).[5] It is located next to Hagemann Park.
