This album is divided into three main sections: Documents created by the proponents and supporters for the idea of incorporating as a Town. This includes the original "Green Sheets". These were put together by a small informal committee of residents, who came together initialy to discuss what to do in order to protect against what they saw as ever increasing threats to the quality of life and general ambience of the community they lived in. Documents published by those in opposition to the idea of incorporation, but who wanted things to stay the way they were. A selection of contemporary documents and newspaper clippings reporting on the success of the campaign to incorporate The Town of Los Altos Hills. Most of the documents shown in these pages come from the Rex Gardiner Collection (another "Album" in this Digital Archive) or other albums of newspaper clippings. However they are scattered over a number of different albums and buried within thousands of other archived materials. This particular album is intended to gather a chosen few of these documents in one place, based on their interest and relevance to the birth of Los Altos Hills.
