Los Altos, located in Silicon Valley, California, has roots dating to the late 18th century with the Ohlone tribe. By the 1920s, it was a popular retreat for San Francisco residents, later expanding after World War II. The 1950s and 60s saw tech growth with companies like Hewlett-Packard and mid-century modern homes by developer Joseph Eichler. Now, Los Altos is a community of over 30,000, known for excellent schools, beautiful parks, upscale neighborhoods, and a vibrant downtown, making it a prized Silicon Valley destination for families and professionals.
