City Description

Alum Rock is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Clara County, California, United States and a neighborhood of San Jose. The population was 13,479 at the 2000 census. Alum Rock was named after a rock formerly thought to be composed of alum in nearby Alum Rock Park. Formerly a separate town, there have remained some unincorporated pockets surrounded by incorporated San Jose which are now part of a city/county agreement to annex the remaining pockets.. James Lick High School (which is part of the East Side Union High School District), Joseph George Middle School and other schools in the Alum Rock Union School District serve the neighborhood. In the 1800s and early 1900s Alum Rock was mostly fruit orchard land. During the 1940s and 1950s, developers began building residential housing and formed the community of Alum Rock. During that time, Alum Rock Avenue passed through the town on its way into Alum Rock Park. In the 1980s and 1990s, Alum Rock's neighborhood became increasing older and more populated with Latino immigrants as "white flight" affected the area. Today, Alum Rock remains a unique community separated from the rest of San Jose. A 5.4 magnitude earthquake occurred near
