In the late 1940's, Cupertino was swept up in Santa Clara Valley's postwar population explosion.
Concerned by unplanned development, higher taxes and piecemeal annexation to adjacent cities,
Cupertino's community leaders began a drive in 1954 for incorporation. Cupertino rancher
Norman Nathanson, the Cupertino - Monta Vista Improvement Association and the Fact-finding Committee,
played important roles in this movement. Incorporation was approved in a September 27, 1955 election.
Cupertino officially became Santa Clara County's 13th City on October 10, 1955.
