Did You Know. . . that the oldest fruit trees in California might be right here in Moraga? Take a look at the six-trunk Winter Pear tree on the lawn of the Villa Moraga housing complex! Standing tall at the corner of St. Mary's and Moraga Roads, this stately beauty has been declared a "Heritage Tree" by the Moraga Historical Society. Old records suggest it was planted at the turn of the LAST century, before The Moraga Company ever planted their first Bartlett pears! 😮Here's the amazing part: developers of Villa Moraga cut the old tree down… but it refused to quit. Suckers sprouted from the root, and today it sits happily with SIX tall trunks, putting on a showy globe of flowers every spring. A little more Moraga history: The Moraga Company planted Bartlett pear trees all over town around 1913. Our pears were shipped to the East Coast and the Oakland canneries, where they were proclaimed, "as fine as any found within the state." Every can wore a blue label reading "MORAGA PEARS."Come celebrate our PEAR history at the Pear (and Wine) Festival on September 26, 11 AM – 3 PM at the Moraga Commons🥧 Don't miss the pear pies — they sell out EARLY every single year!MCN appreciates the assistance of the Moraga Historical Society and President, Susan Sperry.🦋

Did You Know . . . before cars filled the roads, students rode the rails? 🚂![]()

Saint Mary's College of California once had its own train station. Located just west of today's campus entrance, the station served students, faculty, and visitors for decades. By 1929, the Sacramento Northern Railway was operating electric trains to campus until passenger service ended in 1941.![]()

🏈 St. Mary's football history is just as impressive! The program began in 1892, paused in 1899 due to safety concerns, and returned in the 1920s. Under legendary coach Edward "Slip" Madigan, the "Brickpile Saints" rose to national prominence, capping off an unforgettable era with a 1938 Cotton Bowl victory over Texas Tech.![]()

In 1941, St. Mary's College became the U.S. Navy's West Coast preflight training center, earning the nickname "The Annapolis of the Air."![]()

Among those who walked the campus were future astronauts Alan Shepard and Scott Carpenter, while future U.S. President Gerald Ford served as an instructor.![]()

Today, little remains of the sprawling military training grounds, but one powerful reminder endures. A hike to Our Lady of the Oaks offers a quiet place of reflection, honoring the 1,427 St. Mary's alumni who served—and gave their lives—during World War II. 🇺🇸![]()
