"I've been asked where the name 'Hacienda' came from and why the arches. During our pre-acquisition due diligence, we noticed that much of the land in the Tri-Valley had originally been acquired by individuals in the early 19th Century via Spanish land grants. Underlying title maps still reflected some of these grants and the haciendas related to them. Thus, the name. While it's hard to imagine today, you have to recognize that, in 1982, the park was a vast open area. There were no interchanges except for a modest one at Hopyard and I-580 and it was difficult for interested parties to find the property. The arches helped to solve that condition."

It was the beginning of the spirit of cooperation between Hacienda and community groups that still exists today."
