'''Dublin''' is a suburban city of the [[East Bay]] in [[California]], United States. It is located within the [[Amador Valley]] of [[Alameda County, California|Alameda County]]'s [[Tri-Valley]] region. It is located along the north side of [[Interstate 580 (California)|Interstate 580]] at the intersection with [[Interstate 680 (California)|Interstate 680]], roughly {{convert|35|mi|km}} east of downtown [[San Francisco]], {{convert|23|mi|km}} east of downtown [[Oakland, California|Oakland]], and {{convert|31|mi|km}} north of downtown [[San Jose, California|San Jose]].

The name "Dublin" is in reference to the city of [[Dublin]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], because of the large number of [[Irish people|Irish]] who lived in the area.<ref name="capace">{{cite book |last1=Capace |first1=Nancy |title=Encyclopedia of California|date=1999|publisher=Somerset Publishers, Incorporated |isbn=9780403093182 |page=230 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5wGpZagXWlsC&pg=PA230 |language=en}}</ref> The post office formally adopted the name in the 1890s.<ref name="capace" /> The area was first called Alamilla Springs, named after a spring located near the modern intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road. Another explanation suggests that the name may have developed from local references at the crossroads, either to a pair of inns known as the “Double Inns,” or to wagon drivers who would “double” their teams of horses before climbing a nearby hill.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dion |first=Alex |title=The Founding Of Dublin, and How it Got its Name |url=https://thedublinshield.com/articles/community/2021/11/16/the-founding-of-dublin-and-how-it-got-its-name/ |access-date=2025-09-03 |website=The Dublin Shield}}</ref>

==History== {{more citations needed section|date=January 2020}} [[File:Murray Schoolhouse, 1856, Dublin, CA.jpg|thumb|The Murray Schoolhouse was built in 1856 and moved twice to its present location in the Dublin Heritage Center.]] [[File:2009-0724-CA-Dublin-GreensStore.jpg|thumb|Historic Green's Store is now used as a church.]]

In 1835, [[José María Amador]] was granted 16,500 acres for his service as a Mexican soldier and in Mission San Jose, where he was an administrator in the valley which was named [[Amador Valley]] after him. In 1850, Irish settlers bought land from Amador and founded a town.

Several historical sites are preserved and located where Dublin Boulevard is crossed by Donlon Way, itself formerly the northernmost segment of the main road to [[Sunol, California|Sunol]] and [[Niles Canyon]] (present-day Foothill Road): * The Murray Schoolhouse was established in 1856 with 50 pupils. * Green's Store (opened in 1860) is the current home of the Dublin Church of Christ. * [[Dublin Pioneer Cemetery|The Dublin Pioneer Cemetery]] was formally established in 1859, although people had been buried in the churchyard for years before 1859. * [[Old St. Raymond's Church]] (built in 1859) is the oldest extant Catholic church in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, and is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].

Dublin [[Boulevard]], a generally east–west road running just north of [[Interstate 580 (California)|Interstate 580]], was a part of the [[Lincoln Highway]] and later [[U.S. Route 50 in California|U.S. Route 50]]. The street formerly curved southward near today's Hansen Drive to follow present-day Dublin Canyon Road toward [[Hayward, California|Hayward]].

In 1960, the first housing tracts were built in West Dublin, transforming the formerly rural community into a suburb. It grew steadily from the early 1960s onward as both a residential and retail center. The city became incorporated in February 1982.

Although a post office operated from 1860 to 1908 in [[Dougherty, Alameda County, California|Dougherty]], which broke off from Dublin, Dublin's first post office was opened in 1963, and is still in operation today.<ref name=CGN>{{California's Geographic Names|626}}</ref>

Dublin housed a federal low-security women's prison, [[Federal Correctional Institution, Dublin|FCI Dublin]], until it shut down in 2024. Many employees were convicted of [[sexual abuse|sexually abusing]] prisoners. The US government agreed to pay over $100 million to the victims.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sisak |first1=Michael R. |last2=Balsamo |first2=Michael |title=US to pay nearly $116M to settle lawsuits over rampant sexual abuse at California women's prison |url=https://apnews.com/article/federal-prisons-dublin-sexual-abuse-lawsuit-settlement-8265b20642f7233ae9767578691154c1 |accessdate=March 6, 2025 |work=Associated Press |date=December 17, 2024}}</ref>

===''MythBusters'' cannonball incident=== {{see also|MythBusters#Cannonball accident{{!}}''MythBusters'' § Cannonball accident}} On December 6, 2011, during shooting for an episode of ''[[MythBusters]]'' at Camp Parks, a cannonball went skyward and zoomed through a nearby residence, coming to rest in a car. Many residents were shaken and the community was shocked, but nobody was injured. ''MythBusters'' cast members [[Adam Savage]] and [[Kari Byron]] hosted a student engineering event at Dublin High School, a move to express gratitude to the community of Dublin for the access to Camp Parks as a shooting location. The Dublin Film Commission declared December 6 "Victory in the battle for Dublin", poking at the rogue cannonball incident, and announced plans to host a film festival every December 6 to honor Dublin's fallen cannonball. On December 6, 2012, Tri-Valley Film Coalition President Morgan Finley King hosted a film festival at the Dublin Library, in which winners of each category were awarded a "Golden Cannonball Award".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/12/06/BA1D1M99V5.DTL | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111207132335/http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/12/06/BA1D1M99V5.DTL | url-status=dead | archive-date=December 7, 2011 | work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] | first1=Demian | last1=Bulwa | first2=Henry K. | last2=Lee | title='Mythbusters' cannonball hits Dublin home, minivan | date=January 6, 2012}}</ref>

===Measure M=== {{Further|California housing shortage}} In 2000, following a conflict with Mayor [[Guy Houston]] and developers of the West Dublin Hills, Morgan King and David Bewley began a ballot initiative known as Measure M. The objective of the measure was to prevent the Dublin Hills from becoming overwhelmed with housing that had been promised to voters and that the housing would not be built on preserved open space.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ballotpedia.org/City_of_Dublin_Annexation_of_Doolan_Canyon,_Measure_T_(November_2014)|title=City of Dublin Annexation of Doolan Canyon, Measure T (November 2014)|website=Ballotpedia}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mercurynews.com/2014/01/31/dublin-ballot-measure-would-create-growth-restrictions-on-east-side/|title = Dublin ballot measure would create growth restrictions on east side|date = January 31, 2014}}</ref> Measure M won in every precinct in Dublin and on the absentee ballots.<ref>City Council Minutes March 19, 2001</ref>

==Geography== According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|15.2|sqmi|km2|sigfig=1}}, all land.

===Neighborhoods=== Wallis Ranch is a subdivision developed by Trumark Communities with about 816 units, which opened its first phase in September 2016. Trumark divided the project into eight neighborhoods, selling seven of them to other homebuilders, including Warmington Residential, [[PulteGroup]], [[Taylor Morrison]], [[KB Home]], and [[D.R. Horton]]. Architects KTGY Architecture + Planning, Dahlin Group and Gates and Associates were the master plan architects. Teichert Construction built the infrastructure.<ref>[https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2016/09/dublin-wallis-ranch-trumark-housing-development.html $1 billion East Bay housing project opens first homes, 800 planned]</ref>

Tassajara Hills is another subdivision built by [[Toll Brothers]], roughly 370 detached homes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ci.dublin.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/15389/Annual-General-Plan-Progress-Report-2016_FINAL|title=Dublin City General Plan Report|access-date=April 14, 2019|archive-date=April 14, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414053635/http://www.ci.dublin.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/15389/Annual-General-Plan-Progress-Report-2016_FINAL|url-status=dead}}</ref> Transit-oriented development around the city's two BART stations continues with the Aster and Valor Crossing developments. Valor Crossing is an affordable housing project specifically designed for veterans and their families.
