Neighborhood Description Skyrocketing land prices in Willow Glen are nothing new. In 1887, Willow Glen farms cost 10 times as much as other farms in the San Jose area. Willow Glen farms produced wheat, barley, potatoes, onions, beets and corn easily and in abundance, earning the community a reputation as one of the best farming areas in San Jose. Immediately after the Willow Glen Neighborhood Association formed in 1973, its members lobbied to keep the city from widening Bird and Pine avenues, which would have been turned into major thoroughfares. The association's efforts were successful and the city dropped the road-widening projects. Less than one dozen merchants formed Willow Glen's first business association in the 1920s. In 1949, members renamed the group the Willow Glen Business and Professional Association. In 1927, there were seven commercial businesses on Lincoln Avenue. In 1928, there were eight. In 1929, there were 19, and by 1930 there were 32.
