How Much Local History Do You Know?
Los Altos, originally part of the Fremont Judicial Township established in 1853, evolved significantly through the years. Known unofficially as “Banks and Braes,” the area began its transformation into a modern commuter town in 1906 when Paul Shoup, an executive of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and his colleagues from the Altos Land Company initiated its development.
The company purchased 140 acres from Sarah Winchester, with the vision of connecting Palo Alto and Los Gatos to serve as a convenient suburb. In 1908, the Southern Pacific Railroad launched steam train service through Los Altos, enhancing its accessibility with five trains per day, and marked the community’s growth with its first commercial structure, Eschenbruecher’s Hardware.
The town’s development continued with the establishment of a craftsman-style train station in 1913, which became a community focal point. By the mid-20th century, Los Altos residents, aiming to protect their unique community character and manage growth, pushed for independence from Santa Clara County’s zoning policies. This led to the incorporation of Los Altos as the eleventh city in the county on December 1, 1952. Over time, train service was discontinued in 1964, and the tracks were repurposed into what is now the Foothill Expressway, which included pioneering noise reduction technology with its scientifically designed sound baffle in 1970.
Los Altos also played a notable role in the tech revolution: in 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak assembled the first 50 Apple I computers in Jobs’s garage here. Decades later, in 2004, Mark Zuckerberg expanded Facebook from 200,000 to 2.5 million members while renting a Los Altos home known as “Casa Facebook.” Continuing its tradition of innovation, Los Altos became home to the world’s first consumer flying car showroom in 2021, highlighting its ongoing influence in shaping modern technology and transport innovations.
