Concise History of Union City Indian Era
The article outlines Union City's heritage, tracing its three community roots and the Costanoan Sho shone ancestors along Alameda Creek and Dry Creek. It recalls precolonial life, housing, shell mounds, fishing, basketry, food, clothing, tattoos, and notes the rapid decimation of Costanoan populations after missions and settlement, with references to explorers De Anza and Moraga.
