1) Who named Mountain View and when?

(Answers: #1 — Jacob Shumway in 1852; #2 — 1902; #3 — 1999) This year’s INFO is chockfull of handy tidbits, from historical trivia to modern demographics, from lists of where to take the kids on outings to where to have a senior lunch.

Mountain View’s breadth of organizations, schools, recreational opportunities and arts groups are well represented here. There’s much to enjoy and much to learn about this vibrant Silicon Valley community.

Of course, space in print is always limited. To access even more information, visit www.mv-voice.com (click on “Community Resources”). Extensive information online is also available about surrounding communities, including Stanford, Palo Alto and Menlo Park.
