About Los Altos
Brief History of Los Altos, California (The Heights)
The area today known as Los Altos was originally monikered ‘Banks and Braes’. In 1906 top executives of the Southern Pacific Railroad purchased 140 acres of land from Sarah Winchester (of Winchester Rifle fame) and formed the Altos Land Company. The plan was to connect Palo Alto and Los Gatos by train and making Los Altos a commuter town. They provided a train operations until 1964 (consumer and freight) to and from San Francisco – along what today is known as Foothill Expressway.
By 1949, residents were unhappy with Santa Clara county government zoning regulations so they decided to incorporate. Los Altos became Santa Clara county’s eleventh city on December 1, 1952.
The town had a brush was greatness when in 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built the first Apple Computer in Jobs’s family garage in Los Altos.
