birthplace of Silicon Valley, is more than 100 years old. The city
was named after a majestic 1000 year old coastal redwood tree

west, with Menlo Park to the north and Mountain View to the south.
The City encompasses an area of approximately 26 square miles, of
which one-third is open space.

and new, Palo Altos tree-lined streets and historic
buildings reflect its California heritage. At the same time, Palo
Alto is recognized worldwide as a leader in cutting-edge
technological development. This exciting mix of tradition and
innovation makes Palo Alto an extraordinary place
