"A major milestone in Cupertino's development was the creation by some of the city's largest landowners of '''VALLCO Business and Industrial Park''' in the early 1960s. Of the 25 property owners, 17 decided to pool their land to form VALLCO Park, 6 sold to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varian_Associates Varian Associates] (property later sold to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard Hewlett-Packard]), and two opted for transplanting to farms elsewhere. The name VALLCO was derived from the names of the principal developers: Varian Associates and the Leonard, Lester, Craft, and Orlando families. A neighborhood outdoor shopping center and, much later, the enclosed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vallco_Shopping_Mall Vallco Fashion Park], briefly renamed Cupertino Square, were also developed. [this is now known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vallco_Shopping_Mall Vallco Shopping Mall]]." -Wikipedia.
Since 2014, the proposed redevelopment of this VALLCO Site has emerged as a key land-use controversy in Cupertino, and prompted the formation of new advocacy groups such as Better Cupertino.
