Certified Marble Armor Installers in San Jose

The large concentration of high-technology engineering, computer, and microprocessor companies around San Jose has led the area to be known as Silicon Valley. As the largest city in the valley, San Jose has billed itself the capital of Silicon Valley. San Jose was founded in 1777 and when California gained statehood in 1850, San Jose served as its first capital. San Jose is the tenth-largest city in the U.S., and the county seat of Santa Clara County. Area schools such as the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University pump thousands of engineering and computer science graduates into the local economy every year. The cost of living in San Jose and the surrounding areas is among the highest in the nation.
