EARLY DAYS IN MENLO PARK The land now known as the City of Menlo Park was originally the home of Ohlone Indians, called by the Spaniards Coastanoans, or Coastdwellers. These local residents lived off the land peacefully, gathering nuts, berries and fish from both the ocean and the bay. Because of the abundance of food there was no need for them to practice agriculture. Evidences of their civilization are still being unearthed on the Filoli estate in Woodside, and along San Francisquito Creek. Spanish rule came to this area in 1769 when the exploration party led by Don Gaspar de Portola camped near El Palo Alto after their momentous discovery of San Francisco Bay. The colonizing of the Peninsula began after the expedition of Juan Bautista DeAnza passed through Menlo Park on its way to establishing Mission Dolores and the Presidio of San Francisco in 1776. The mission padres, explorers, military personnel, travelers and settlers occupied certain areas, developing and populating the land. As a reward for their contribution to the settling movement, some of these pioneers were granted huge portions of land by the Spanish and, after 1822, the Mexican governments. The largest land grant on the Peninsula was the Rancho de las Pulgas, an area of 35,260 acres, awarded to presidio comandante Don Jose Dario Arguello in 1795 by Governor Diego de Borica, and endorsed in behalf of his son Luis Arguello in 1820 by Pablo Sola, the last Spanish governor of California. It extended north and south from San Mateo Creek to San Francisquito Creek, and east and west from San Francisco Bay to today’s Canada Road in Woodside. The present boundaries of Menlo Park would be within this rancho which became part of the new State of California. The Arguello family obtained legal title to their lands in 1857 and later subdivided them. It was in 1854 that Menlo Park received its official name when two

Irishmen, Dennis J. Oliver and D. C. McGlynn, whose wives were sisters, purchased 1,700 acres (some sources say it was 640 acres) bordering County Road, now El Camino Real, and built two houses with a common entrance. Across the drive they erected a huge wooden gate with tall arches on which the name of their estate was printed in foothigh letters: “MENLO PARK”, with the date, August 1854, under it. When the railroad came through in 1863, this station had no name, it was just the end of the line, but it needed a designation. During a discussion about the choice of a name, a railroad official looked over at the gates and decided that “MENLO PARK” would be appropriate, and so the name was officially adopted. This station is now California State Landmark No. 955, the oldest California station in continuous operation. San Mateo County became independent of San Francisco County in 1856. A county road had been laid for horse and carriages, wagons and stagecoaches to Belmont and soon was extended to San Jose. This opened the Peninsula to the residents of San Francisco who wished to www.menloparkchamber.com

establish summer residences in the country. Among the first to buy large tracts of land and build their mansions were the Athertons, Hopkinses, Floods, Millses, Donohoes and Feltons. The great estates were largely self-sufficient and most of the workers lived on the premises. The estates had their own cows - milk and butter were produced on the estates. They had their own chickens, other fowl and often hogs, too. The Hopkins estate had its own boarding house for single men, complete with its own barber shop. It manufactured gas for its own heating and lighting use and sold some to neighbors. The service part of old Menlo consisted of two general merchandise stores, two or three blacksmith shops, a couple of livery stables, six or eight saloons, and about three working-man hotels. On 23 March 1874, Menlo Park became the second incorporated city in San Mateo County, although only for a short time. The purpose was to provide a quick way to raise money for road repairs. This incorporation, which included Fair Oaks (later Atherton) and Ravenswood (later East Palo Alto) lasted only until 1876. Churches were founded, schools

were opened and businesses were established. The first church in San Mateo County was built by Dennis Martin on his ranch in 1856. It was the only Catholic church between Mission Dolores in San Francisco and Mission Santa Clara until St. Matthew’s Church was built in 1863 and St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in 1865, both in San Mateo. The Church of the Nativity in Menlo Park was built in 1872. Little occurred to change the rural flavor of the community until the first World War, when, almost overnight, Menlo Park was populated by 43,000 soldiers in training at Camp Fremont, on land which extended from Valparaiso Avenue to San Francisquito Creek, and El Camino Real to the Alameda de las Pulgas, with the Base Hospital and other facilities on Willow Road where the Veterans Administration Medical Center now stands. After the war enough service center activity remained to prompt an effort to reincorporate Menlo Park in 1923 with much the same boundaries as the earlier town. Incorporation planning involving Menlo Park and Atherton culminated in a dramatic race to the County Courthouse to file differing plans. Atherton representatives arrived only minutes before those from Menlo Park who had wished to include Atherton in their plans. Final incorporation of Menlo Park took place in November 1927.

MENLO PARK TODAY

Between 1943 and 1946 another military installation, Dibble General Hospital, was built on the old Timothy Hopkins estate to care for the thousands of soldiers injured in the South Pacific in World War II. After the war a post war boom occurred in Menlo Park. Under the leadership of farsighted Charles P. Burgess, the City acquired 29 acres of Dibble General Hospital grounds at a price of $4,000 an acre. On this land a handsome civic center has been erected. Later, Santa Cruz Avenue was widened and improved and gradually became Menlo’s first street. Pioneering steps were taken in zoning control, off-street parking in the business district, establishment of the Administrative-Professional zoning, which attracted such concerns as Stanford Research Institute, Sunset Magazine and the U.S. Geological Survey, and, in 1952, led to the City’s first Master Plan. Menlo Park has continued to grow in many ways to fit the needs of a progressive community, yet it looks back with pride at its past...its beginnings... and hopes to pass on to new generations the goals and ambitions of its pioneer families.

FRIENDSHIP AGREEMENT In the early 1850s, two Irishmen, Dennis J. Oliver and Daniel C. McGlynn settled on 1,700 acres that borders what is now known as El Camino Real. As the area’s first permanent settlers, they built two houses with a common entrance, over which they erected a large wooden gate with tall arches. The name of their estate, Menlo Park, was written on the center arch in boldly distinguished letters. Apparently the area reminded them of their home in Menlo, a shortened form of Menlough, which is today within the city limits of Galway, Ireland. When the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad came through in 1863, the new station needed a name. During a discussion, a railroad official is said to have looked over at the gate and decided that Menlo Park would be appropriate, and so the name was officially adopted for the station. In 1927, the village was incorporated as a city in the state of California with the name of Menlo Park, forever bonding the area to its Menlough origins. Interest in forming a friendship between Menlo Park, California and Galway, Ireland (the current home of the Oliver and McGlynn’s Menlough townland) began in the 1960’s as the two City Councils began to exchange visitors and conversations. However a formal agreement would not be solidified for another 50 years. On Thursday, October 17, 2013, 150 years after the railroad came to Menlo Park, Galway City Mayor, Pádraig Conneely, and Menlo Park Mayor, Peter Ohtaki, signed a Friendship

Agreement in Menlo Park, California. Mayor Conneely’s visit to Menlo Park was followed by a reciprocal visit to Ireland by Mayor Ohtaki the following month.

The Town stretches from the flatlands of the peninsula into the hills to the west, along Highway 280. The Town is bordered by areas of Menlo Park, Redwood City, Woodside, and unincorporated San Mateo County. The Town of Atherton desires, insofar as possible, “to preserve its character as a scenic, rural, thickly-wooded, residential area, with abundant open space.” In 1866, Fair Oaks (Atherton) was a flag stop on the San Francisco-San Jose Railroad line for the convenience of estate owners living north of Menlo Park. The entire area was then called Menlo Park and had originally been part of the Rancho de las Pulgas, covering much of modern day San Mateo County. There were several attempts to incorporate Fair Oaks, one in 1874 and another in 1911. In 1923, Menlo Park wished to incorporate its lands to include the Fair Oaks lands. Fair Oaks property owners soon discovered that in order to maintain their community as a strictly residential area, they would have to incorporate separately. A town near Sacramento had already been named Fair Oaks, so the Town Committee decided to honor Faxton Dean Atherton, one of the first property owners in the southern peninsula, and name the Town for him. Atherton was incorporated on September 12, 1923. The town government was established with Edward E. Eyre as the first mayor. In 1928, the residents voted to build a Town Hall, which stands today. Early residents envisioned a residential town divided into large parcels that would not contain any businesses. Although the city still maintains its lack of industry, its large land holdings have been subdivided over time. Extensive subdivisions in the 1940’s and 1950’s led to many one-acre plots.

Atherton is still a “plain of oaks”. Native live oaks, white oaks, bays, redwoods, cedars, pines and other ornamental trees cover the six square miles of town. There are approximately 50 miles of roads “designed primarily as scenic routes rather than for speed of travel.” Beautiful foliage, elegant gardens and heritage trees dominate this quiet residential Courtesy of Fran Dehn c o m m u n i t y.

HISTORY

Portola Valley, California, sits in a peaceful valley astride the San Andreas Fault. Since incorporation in 1964, development has been slow and the town has kept a rural ambiance reminiscent of days gone by. The origins of the modern town of Portola Valley are in the little logging town of Searsville that stood along Sand Hill Road from the 1850s until 1891. It offered services for the men who came to cut the redwoods for the post gold rush building boom. By the dawn of the twentieth century, the redwoods were mostly gone, Searsville had been abandoned, and a reservoir, known today as Searsville Lake, had been created. The area became a place of small farms and large estates. Immigrants from Ireland, Portugal, Croatia, Italy, China, the Philippines, Chile, and Germany joined the Californios to raise strawberries, herd cattle and cut firewood. The large landowners came from San Francisco to escape the summer fog. A few were year round residents. Extensive residential development did not begin until after World War II, and by the early 1960s, many residents had become alarmed by increasing pressures for housing and business expansion. Therefore, in 1964, they voted to incorporate

in order to have local control over development. The goals were to preserve the beauty of the land, to foster low-density housing, to keep government costs low by having a cadre of volunteers, and to limit services to those necessary for local residents. In the view of many, a good balance between modern development and pastoral quiet exists in the community today. Nineteen hundred acres of permanent open space exist within the town. Residents continue to treasure the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental and historic heritage, its excellent public schools and its town government staffed by a multitude of volunteers.

Portola Valley operates under a council-mayor form of government. A council is elected to govern the town through resolutions and ordinances. It appoints officers, commissions and committees. The mayor, who is elected annually by majority vote of the council, presides over the council. The Town Administrator, appointed by the council, is in charge of the offices at the town hall and responsible for administering policies and decisions of the council. The council meets the second and fourth Wednesdays monthly.

With numerous parks located within its nineteen-mile city boundary, Menlo Park is indeed a “City of Parks”. While visiting the parks, look for tennis courts, softball diamonds, picnic areas, children’s playgrounds, soccer fields and plenty of well maintained open spaces. The City’s Bedwell Bayfront Park on the eastern end of Marsh Road offers spectacular vistas of the Bay and a look onto the Federal Wildlife Preserve of Greco Island. The area is also rich in county and state-maintained parks, all within an easy drive. Thanks to the hospitable climate, residents enjoy camping, hiking and fishing almost all year round. Horse-back riding, archery and golf are some of the other options available for a complete outdoor experience.

Nativity (1872); while “newer elements” as BBC (1926), Allied Arts (1929), and Sunset Magazine (1929) also contribute to our cultural past. Transition and post-war growth is marked by the acquisition of the Burgess Civic Center campus and the introduction of scientific research: SRI International (1946), U.S. Geological Survey (1954)

and SLAC National Accelerator Lab (1962). The addition of the Menlo Center (1989), Performing Arts Center (2009), Arrillaga Family Gymnasium (2010) and Gymnastic Center (2012) all serve as community gathering places.

EDUCATION Menlo Park, Atherton and Portola Valley are understandably proud of their excellent educational systems. The schools provide a rich selection of programs, services and academic courses designed to give students an edge in the next phase of their education. Menlo Parks’s elementary school students are served by three public elementary school districts: Menlo Park City, Los Lomitas and Ravenswood. Portola Valley students attend school in the Portola Valley Elementary School District; Atherton is served by the Menlo Park City, the Los Lomitas and the Redwood City School Districts. The Sequoia Union High School District has several high schools serving the area. Additional private schools accommodate a complete range of grade levels.

OKAY, NOT EVERYONE’S IMPRESSED BY OUR STELLAR U.S. NEWS RANKINGS. Kids don’t care that we’re the only children’s hospital in Northern California to be highly recognized in 9 out of 10 pediatric specialties by the recent U.S. News & World Report America’s Best Children’s Hospitals rankings. But it might be comforting for you to know that some of the best pediatric and obstetric resources in the nation are right here in the Bay Area. At Packard Children's our extraordinary doctors, nurses and staff all support our mission of nurturing care and extraordinary outcomes and have helped hundreds of thousands of children along the way. Whether they're impressed with our rankings, or not.

HOME DESIGN SERVICES Long known as the go-to place for home furnishings on the Peninsula, the Menlo Park Design District on and around Santa Cruz Avenue has experienced a recent rebirth. Along with the opening of many new home furnishing stores and the offices of design professionals, the area is a hot bed of style and taste. With all different types of resources available, shoppers are sure to find something extraordinary for their homes. There are services for fully customized furnishings as well as “off-the-floor” options. The design professionals are available to guide you through choosing, ordering, and delivering exactly what you have dreamed of owning. No need to fight the traffic and the crowds in the big cities, Menlo Park offers free parking and the “small town” environment to make your shopping and design experience a real pleasure. But don’t be fooled, small town doesn’t mean that you won’t find world-class design and furniture. Make a day of it…come shopping in Menlo Park’s Design District! -Blair Morgan
