If you are interested in Livermore, here is a little bit of Livermore history and highlights:
 
Livermore was founded by William Mendenhall and named after Robert Livermore his friend and a local rancher who settled in the area in the 1840s. 
 
After gold was discovered in 1848, Robert Livermore, who owned large pieces of land, started making money by selling Longhorn Cattle to the thousands of hungry California Gold Rush miners. With his new wealth, in 1849 Livermore bought a two-story  disassembled house that was been shipped about 18,000 miles "Around the Horn"(29,000 km) from the east coast. It's believed to be the first wooden building in the Livermore.
 
Livermore's ranch became a popular "first day" stopping point for prospectors and businessmen leaving San Francisco headed for Sacramento and the gold country. Robert Livermore welcomed nearly all that stopped by with lodging and meals. Robert Livermore died in 1858 and his ranch included much of the present-day city. 

In 1951, the former Livermore NavalAir Station was transferred to the Atomic Energy commission (AEC) for use by the University of California's Radiation Laboratory. A year later the Lawrence Livermore National 

Laboratory (LLNL) was established as a site for the study of nuclear energy. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, combined with Sandia Labs, are Livermore's largest employers.
 
 
 
Livermore is also home to the "fastest little rodeo in the west" and celebrates rodeo week the second week of June every year.
