Welcome to San Leandro!San Leandro is a friendly and diverse city with a colorful heritage and numerous cultural amenities including a 450-berth Marina, two golf courses and a large community library center. The Shoreline Recreation area consists of about 1,800 acres and includes a 455-berth marina, two restaurants, two yacht clubs, a hotel, a sailing lagoon, two golf courses, extensive park facilities, a Monarch butterfly winter roosting site, marshlands and a trail system. Discovered in 1772 by a Spanish explorer, San Leandro became famous during the late 1800s and early 1900s for its delicious cherries. In 1909, to celebrate the abundant cherry harvest, San Leandro held its first Cherry Festival, an event which was so successful, it is still celebrated today. In addition to the Cherry Festival, San Leandro is also well-known for its quiet, well-defined neighborhoods full of charming and unique older houses on tree-lined streets. A bit of history... In 1849 the Gold Rush struck California, and thousands journeyed to the state in search of wealth and prosperity. However, many who were not successful in the gold fields soon moved on to the Bay Area, and settled in the San Leandro area. San Leandro Chamber of Commerce
