San Mateo County, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, was formed in 1856 from parts of San Francisco and Santa Clara counties. The county sits along the Pacific coastline and is bordered by San Francisco to the northwest, the Santa Cruz Mountains to the southwest, and the San Francisco Bay to the east. It has a population of approximately 769,000 people, as of the 2020 Census.
The area's history dates back several thousand years, with evidence of native Ohlone tribes inhabiting the land. Spanish explorers led by Gaspar de Portol arrived in 1769, which marked the beginning of European settlement. The county was further developed during the Mission Era, with the establishment of Mission Dolores in San Francisco and Mission Santa Clara de Ass to the south.
When the Mexican-American War ended, California became a state in 1850. The Gold Rush led to an influx of people moving to the region, and this, in turn, resulted in the eventual formation of the San Mateo County Government in 1856.
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw the growth of industries and transportation, such as the expansion of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which allowed San Mateo County to become a hub for suburban development. The county further flourished following World War II, with the emergence of the electronics and high-tech industries, which reshaped its economic landscape.
A fun fact about San Mateo County is that it was once nicknamed the "Valley of Heart's Delight" due to its thriving fruit orchards, which have since made way for the booming Silicon Valley. Nowadays, the county is known for its parks, open spaces, and diverse landscape, from stunning beaches and coastal cliffs to majestic redwood forests.
