The Diablo Valley refers to a valley in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, to the west/northwest of Mount Diablo. The valley contains the cities of Clayton, Concord, Martinez, the unincorporated area of Pacheco, and Pleasant Hill (home to Diablo Valley College), and most of Walnut Creek. The southern end of Walnut Creek is a part of San Ramon Valley. The Diablo Valley has a diverse population both ethnically, and socio-economically.
Famous quotes containing the word valley:
“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
