At Half Price Books in Fremont, there's an entire shelf dedicated to these local history books.

Some of my favorites:

https://www.amazon.com/Palo-Alto-Centennial-Ward-Winslow/dp/...

https://www.amazon.com/Menlo-Park-California-Beyond-Gate/dp/...

https://www.amazon.com/Seabright-Images-America-Arcadia-Publ...

In fact, the Images of America series is exactly what you're looking for, think.
