The California State Normal School moved from San Francisco to San Jose in 1871, establishing its permanent home.
San Jose became the preferred site after the San Jose Railroad Company paid for the student and faculty body to tour the city. The school did not receive a permanent home until it moved from San Francisco to San Jose in 1871. The original campus consisted of several rectangular, wooden buildings with a central grass quadrangle.
