February 1st marked 40 years since Dublin’s incorporation. Until then, the city was an unincorporated area of Alameda County. Its recreation, fire, and sewer services were provided by the Valley Community Services District, now known as the Dublin San Ramon Services District.

After two previous efforts, the community voted in 1981 to incorporate. On Feb. 1, 1982, the first City Council, made up of Mayor Peter Snyder and Councilmembers Dave Burton, Pete Hegarty, Linda Jeffrey, and Paul Moffatt, approved Ordinance No. 1, which officially incorporated the city.
