San Mateo County, California
|
San Mateo County is a county located in the San Francisco Bay Area of the U.S. state of
California. It covers most of the San Francisco Peninsula just south of San Francisco, and
north of Santa Clara County. San Francisco International Airport is located at the
northern end of the county, and Silicon Valley begins at the southern end. As of 2005 the
population was 712,462. The county seat is Redwood City.
San Mateo County was formed from parts of San Francisco County and Santa Cruz
County in 1856.
The county bears the Spanish name for Saint Matthew. As a place name, San Mateo
appears as early as 1776 and several local geographic features were also designated
San Mateo on early maps including variously: a settlement, an arroyo, a headland jutting
into the Pacific (Point Montara), and a large land holding (Rancho San Mateo). Until about
1850, the name appeared as San Matheo.
