"Unrest in the German states in the 1800s brought a large migration of Germanic people to the United States. Many settled in the Santa Clara Valley where they started businesses and became civic leaders. In the 1800s, Santa Clara has 2 breweries, both owned by German immigrants. Eberhard Tannery, the first manufacturing firm in Santa Clara grew into a thriving business under the management of German owner Jacob Eberhard.
