Los Altos: Local Businesses

Los Altos is an amazing city located south of San Francisco in Santa Clara County. Originally part of a Mexican land grant, by the second half of the 19th century, the land that now makes up the city and nearby Los Altos Hills was owned by Sarah Winchester, the eccentric widow of the heir to the Winchester rifle fortune. However, the land was sold to the Peninsula Interurban Railway in 1906 so that its trains running between San Jose and San Francisco could travel through it. When the railway arrived in the area, Paul Shoup formed the Altos Land Company, becoming the “father of Los Altos” and helping create much of the foundation of Los Altos today. It was Shoup’s developments and the railway that attracted businesses and families to settle the area. Los Altos was incorporated in 1952.

Now, this city is highly desirable and one that attracts a highly-educated population. The above-average education level of its residents in turn leads to good jobs and a higher income level in the community, making this area fairly affluent. It is an attractive location for the highly-educated because it is located in Silicon Valley near some of the most influential technology firms in the country. Some of these firms have changed the course of history with their innovations and continue to draw bright minds to the region. Los Altos features excellent schools and plenty of community activities that make it a place well-heeled people want to live.
