The region is bound to the north by U.S. Route 101 and to the east by Coyote Creek (Santa Clara County). The town was first settled in 1777. The area that now makes up downtown was first settled twenty years later, when the town of San José moved somewhat inland from its original location on the banks of the Guadalupe River. In 1850 San José incorporated to become California's first city and the location for California's first state Capitol. The area was a typical small city downtown until the aggressive expansion of San José into surrounding areas led by A. P. Hamann forced city spending to the outlying areas and led to downtown's decline. In the 1980s, mayor Tom McEnery, whose family owned several buildings in downtown, initiated significant redevelopment. Since its inception the San Jose Redevelopment Agency that has spent approximately $1.7 billion to revitalize the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods. This has included since 2000 the innovative Strong Neighborhoods Initiative which involves residents in creating and implementing an action agenda to improve their own neighborhood.
