For hundreds of years; Portuguese explorers have swept across the globe; many of them landing in California in the 1840s as whalers; ship jumpers; and Gold Rush immigrants. Gold was the lure; but land was the anchor. San Jose became home toPortuguese immigrants who overcame prejudice to contribute to the area politically; socially; and economically. They worked hard; transplanting farming; family; and festa traditions while working in orchards and dairies. Many came from the Azores Islands; 800 miles out to sea from mainland Portugal. For over 160 years; the Portuguese haveenriched San Jose with colorful figures; including radio star Joaquim Esteves; jeweler and filmmaker Antonio Furtado; the charismatic and controversial Fr. Lionel Noia; educator Goretti Silveira; and community leaders Vicki and Joe Machado.
