Alamo, California, gets its name from a Spanish word. The word alamo means "poplar" (yes, the tree) in Spanish. There are many poplar trees that line the San Ramon Creek
Call Alamo, California, an unincorporated community or even call it a census-designated place, but don't call it a city. Technically, it just isn't one. This suburban community in Contra Costa County spans a little more than 9.5 square miles and is called home by around 14,750 residents (2010 U.S. Census). Alamo is far from a new community, as it was settled more than 5,000 years ago. Today, it's the very definition of suburbia, with lots of greenery, gossiping locals, and board members who decide just how long you're allowed to let your lawn grow. View Alamo City Guide
