Livermore CA started back in the 1800’s. The interest for this city begun to rise since 1869, when William Mendenhall, the city’s founder helped with the opening of the railroad. This had enormous impact on the economy here, transforming this city in an agricultural center mainly in the wine industry. Thus, Livermore is one of the oldest wine growing regions in California.
The city drastically changed its look after the opening of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1952 and with Sandia National Laboratory in 1956. The surplus naval base was the much needed space for this to happen since this the city’s population jumped from 4,000 to 40,000 in the 70’s and today it is around 85,000.
The microclimate here is made for vineyards. People are growing varietals like Sauvingnon Blanc, Semillion and Cabernet grapes. Most famous vineyards are Wente Vineyards and Concannon Vineyards and they have been here for 
quite some time, since 1849. The South plain that was added to the city in ’93 has staggering 14,000 acres of viticulture.
In 1992 Livermore adopted an economic development program which focused on developing the industry and commerce here. Thus, Livermore has shown increased activity usually towards WalMart, Costo, Mervyn’s and Ross. Even the downtown Livermore was transformed into the most active shopping district. But the downtown is also one of the best entertainment areas in the Tri-Valley area you can also find a movie theatre, a performing arts center, restaurants, retail and office developments
