"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

It’s not bad at all, this June Time peach, but it’s a fruit I would bake in a pie rather than eat raw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Mariani hands me a little, yellow peach the size of a baseball. It’s an heirloom variety called “Gold Dust.” This peach is so juicy, I’m an immediate mess. And wow, is it delicious: sweet, but with a bright acidity that sets my taste buds alight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, just a handful of lush, green orchards like Mariani’s recall the era long gone when Silicon Valley was called the Valley of Heart’s Delight \u003ci>for its stone fruit\u003c/i>: apricots, cherries, plums, and peaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11676716\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11676716\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31536_Photo-Jun-21-11-45-41-AM-qut-800x527.jpg\" alt=\""Our store does fairly well for being out in middle of nowhere," says Andy Mariani of Andy's Orchard in Morgan Hill.

A lot of times in the Central Valley, it’ll go up to 100 degrees during the day and go down to about 85 at night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Santa Clara Valley, the day temperatures are cooler and the night temperatures are cooler, too. That means the fruit can stay on the tree longer, and the longer the fruit stays on the trees, the more sugar it develops. The flesh is firmer, and juicier. “Tree-ripened,” it turns out, is not just an advertising slogan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tasty though they are, though, these fruits are expensive. They bruise easily, and need to be sold and consumed right away. From an economic perspective, the Central Valley wins on every score, not just because the land is cheaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means most of the varieties you see in the markets will be ones that do well in the Central Valley’s heat. So the Blenheim apricot, a delicate creature that thrived for decades in the temperate Santa Clara Valley, has given way to the heartier, blander Patterson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They taste like cardboard,” Mariani says. “But they’re durable, you know, and very productive.

Gelinas has over 15,000 items crammed into this 5,000-square-foot warehouse, and it’s a dazzling parade of cultural eye candy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here we’re not claiming to be the Smithsonian,” Gelinas admits. “What it is, it’s kind of like a resting place for our local history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes western tailor Nudie Cohn’s ’65 Bonneville wagon with chrome pistols and steer horns mounted on the hood. It includes props and costumes from locally shot B-grade westerns, and artifacts from low-budget sci-fi and monster movies. Cool stuff and plenty of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not all kitsch. Gelinas pays tribute to the aerospace and auto industries, back when Lockheed and GM ruled the Valley. Yeah, they made Camaros here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The museum may not be filled with antiques, but collecting artifacts from the recent past still took some doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a lot easier for me to find something from the 1800s than it is to find a picture from a mall that opened in the ‘70s,” Gelinas explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And shining down on everything are dozens of enormous neon signs rescued from scrap heaps and forgotten warehouses, brought back to life to hum and glow you into the past, whether you lived through it the first time around or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11673226\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11673226\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-240x320.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-375x500.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS30472_IMG_5023-2-qut-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lucy Giles and Vinnie Tauzer, along with Theodore the chipmunk, one of the many attractions at the Valley Relics Museum. \u003ccite>(Peter Gilstrap/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I was born in 1998, so I think it’s really cool that all this stuff from this period of time is like in one place,” says Lucy Giles.

The name comes from a best-selling romance novel written in 1510 called “Las Sergas de Esplandián” or “The Deeds of Esplandián.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the book, the author describes California as a remote island full of gold and precious stones. The island was protected by beautiful black warrior women who lived like the Amazons and served their ruler, Queen Calafia. The novel was so popular that when Spanish explorers arrived, they named their discovery after the mythical island of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Curious listener Shridhar Ramachandran was wondering about how other California places got their names — specifically those in the Bay Area. He turned to the Bay Curious team for help, and so we got to work researching more than 70 Bay Area place names. Below is an interactive map and list to explore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Bay Area cities got their names \" aria-label=\"Locator map\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-fCyHX\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/fCyHX/4/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"800\" height=\"700\" data-external=\"1\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Alameda\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “grove of poplar (or cottonwood) trees” or “tree-lined avenue.” By 1795, the southern part of the region was already referred to as la Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Albany\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>When the town was incorporated in 1908, it took the name Ocean View, though it was jokingly known as O’Shean’s View. The name was changed the following year because a nearby section of Berkeley was also called Ocean View. The town became Albany because the first mayor, Frank J. Roberts, was born in Albany, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Alcatraz\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “pelican.” The name Isla de Los Alcatraces was first given to what is now Yerba Buena Island because there were so many pelicans there. Later the name was transferred to the Alcatraz Island of today.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Angel Island\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Juan Manuel de Ayala named it Isla de los Ángeles in 1775.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Antioch\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1849 the place was called Smith’s Landing because it had been settled by twin brothers with the surname Smith. One of the brothers was a minister and invited a group of New Englanders to settle on his property. On July 4, 1851, the new citizens had a picnic and decided to rename the land Antioch, after a Biblical city in Syria.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Atherton\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The town was named after the businessman Faxon D. Atherton, who first visited California in 1836. Years later he acquired 500 acres where the town now sits.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Benicia\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The land was to be named Francisca, after the wife of Gen. Mariano Vallejo. But when the chief magistrate of Yerba Buena registered the name for the town, he decided to call his growing settlement San Francisco. Francisca became too similar to San Francisco, and thus the name was changed to another one of Señora Vallejo’s names, Benicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Berkeley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On May 24, 1866, the trustees of the College of California chose the name Berkeley. Frederick Billings proposed the name, inspired by a poem from George Berkeley, bishop of Cloyne. Berkeley had written the poem in 1728 while sailing to Rhode Island with the ultimate goal of founding a school in Bermuda: “Westward the course of Empire takes its way / The four first acts already past, / A fifth shall close the drama with the day / Time’s noblest offspring is the last.” Less known is that Berkeley bought slaves to work on his plantation during his stay in Rhode Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Bolinas\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1834, Ignacio Martinez mentioned a valley that people call “Baulenes.” The name probably comes from a Coast Miwok word. The name was misspelled as Ballenas from 1852 to 1910 on Coast Survey charts, an accidental analogy to the Spanish word for whale. Then in 1896, George Davidson falsely assumed the bay had been named for Francisco de Bolaños from Sebastián Vizcaíno’s expedition. This caused the spelling to change to Bolanos and Boliñas. By 1873, the USGS adopted the spelling Bolinas.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Burlingame\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named in 1868 by William Ralston. He named it after his friend, Anson Burlingame, a lawyer and politician. Notably, Burlingame had been President Abraham Lincoln’s U.S. minister to the Qing Empire in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Castro Valley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after Guillermo Castro, a rancher.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Concord\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Salvio Pacheco, owner of the Monte del Diablo rancho, selected the site for a town in 1862. He named the settlement Todos Santos, but many of the new residents were from New England with Anglo sensibilities. By 1869, the town was known as Concord, probably referring to the Concord in Massachusetts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Cupertino\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The town took the name from Cupertino Creek, which had been named for St. Joseph of Cupertino.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Daly City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>John Daly arrived in California when he was 13 in the 1850s. His mother had died on the Panama Canal crossing. The boy found work on a dairy farm and rose quickly. By 1868 he owned 250 acres. After the 1906 earthquake, many San Franciscans took refuge on Daly’s dairy farm. When the land was incorporated in 1911, the town was named in his honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Danville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named in the 1860s, possibly after Danville, Kentucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Dublin\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>James Witt Dougherty bought a large parcel of land in the area. By the 1870s many Irish immigrants had moved nearby. It is rumored that Dougherty said “There are so many Irish here, you might as well call it Dublin.”\u003cbr>\n[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>El Cerrito\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “little hill” in Spanish. The hill it refers to is actually in Albany and is now called Albany Hill. The first record of the name was when the area was referred to as Cerrito de San Antonio in 1820, possibly to honor Anthony of Padua, a patron saint of the Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Emeryville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for Joseph Emery, who came to California in 1850 and bought 185 acres in 1859. He is known for overseeing the dredging of the Oakland estuary. He was also the president of the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Fairfield\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In the 1850s, a famous clipper ship captain, Robert H. Waterman, moved to the area, where he lived in a house modeled after the prow of a ship. When he gave the land up in order to found a new city, he named it after his hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Foster City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after T. Jack Foster, who gave land to the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Fremont\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>John C. Fremont was a soldier, explorer and politician. He was also the first Republican candidate to run for president in 1856.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Gilroy\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after the Scottish sailor, John Gilroy who was not actually named John Gilroy. His name was John Cameron. He went by Gilroy, his mothers maiden name, because he’d been a minor when he left home and was in danger of being sent back. In 1814 he was left ashore in Monterey. He became one of the first non-Spanish non-native permanent settlers in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Half Moon Bay\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named for the shape of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hayward\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The city is named after William Hayward, who opened a hotel there in 1852.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hercules\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s actually named after explosives. In 1881, the California Powder Works company began producing dynamite out of the area. It made a product called Hercules Powder. When the town became incorporated, community leaders decided to name it Hercules.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hillsborough\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The former owner of the area was W. D. M. Howard, who was from Hillsborough, New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Lafayette\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French general who fought in the U.S. War of Independence.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Larkspur\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was subdivided by Charles W. Wright in 1887, and his wife, Georgina, named the town. She allegedly saw flowers blooming on a hill and thought the lupine was larkspur.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Livermore\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the English sailor, Robert Livermore, who came to California in the 1820s, became a Mexican citizen and got a huge land grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Los Altos\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “the heights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Los Gatos\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “cats.” The Santa Cruz Mountains were once called Cuesta de los Gatos. When the railroad created a station nearby in 1878, it was named Los Gatos Creek.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Martinez\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the landowner Ignacio Martínez, who had been comandante at the Presidio of San Francisco from 1822-1827.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Menlo Park\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There were two brothers-in-law, Dennis J. Oliver and D. C. McGlynn. They came from the village of Menlough in County Galway, Ireland. Between their two ranches they built an arched gate with the inscription “Menlo Park.” When the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad reached the place in 1863, they adopted the name for the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Mill Valley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1834 a sawmill was built in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Milpitas\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Mexican Spanish milpas means “cornfields.” The family of Máximo Martínez, as well as local Native Americans, had once worked in nearby cornfields.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003ca id=\"moraga\">\u003c/a>Moraga\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after Joaquín Moraga, a soldier in the San Francisco Company. His father was the explorer Gabriel Moraga.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Morgan Hill\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after Morgan Hill, a ranch owner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Mountain View\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for a stage station that had views of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Mount Diablo and Mount Hamilton.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Napa\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There are many theories for what Napa could mean. According to some, Napa is Southern Patwin for “grizzly bear.” Others think it comes from the Eastern and Central Pomo, who have the word naphó, which means “people family.” A third theory is that it comes from the Suisun Patwin and could mean “near mother,” “near home” or “motherland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Newark\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1876, the South Pacific Coast Railroad Co. named the railroad station after the New Jersey home of A.E. Davis and his brother.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Nicasio\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s believed that Nicasio was a Native American who was baptized with the name of one of several saints named Nicasius.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Novato\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name is probably from a chief of the Hookooeko or Miwok. Historians believe the chief had probably been baptized with the name of St. Novatus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Oakland\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish times, part of the area had been called Encinal del Temescal or “Oak Grove by the Sweathouse” because of a beautiful oak grove. When the area was incorporated as a town, the name was spontaneously chosen.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Orinda\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The sheriff and landowner William Camron was married to Alice M. Camron. Mrs. Camron chose to name their home in honor of her favorite poet, Katherine Fowler Philips, who was known as “The Matchless Orinda.”*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pacifica\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Because the city is next to the Pacific Ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Palo Alto\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Palo means stick in Spanish, but in Spanish California it meant tree. It may refer to a specific redwood tree seen by the Anza expedition, that “appears from a distance like a tower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pescadero\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish it means “fishing place” because people caught salmon there.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Petaluma\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Coast Miwok, péta lúuma means “hillside back” or “hillside ridge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Piedmont\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was inspired either by the French word piedmont or the Italian word piemonte, both meaning “foot (of the) mountain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pleasanton\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name has nothing to do with “pleasant town.” It’s named after Gen. Alfred Pleasonton. The name was misspelled by a U.S. Postal Service worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pittsburg\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the Pittsburg Coal Co., which was named after the city in Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Point Reyes\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>An expedition led by Sebastian Vizcaíno passed the point on Jan 6, 1603, the Day of the Three Holy Kings. The expedition members found shelter in present-day Drakes Bay and named it Puerto de los Reyes. That name did not stick, but on maps Punta de los Reyes continued to be used.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Redwood City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There had been a forest and lumber industry nearby. The site has also been called Red Woods City, Red Woods Embarcadero and the Redwoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Richmond\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named Richmond in 1852. It’s a popular place name in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Bruno\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named for St. Bruno of Cologne, founder of the Carthusian Order.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Francisco\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was originally called Yerba Buena in the 1700s by Spanish-speaking explorers. It was officially changed to San Francisco in 1847. The namesake was Mission San Francisco de Asís a la Laguna de los Dolores or “The mission of our seraphic father Saint Francis of Assisi at the Lake of the Sorrows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Jose\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On November 29, 1777, \u003cem>Pueblo de San Jose\u003c/em> was founded as California’s first civilian settlement. This Pueblo, and eventually the city, were both named after Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary.*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Leandro\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The city got its name from Arroyo de San Leandro. The name probably honors Saint Leander, archbishop of Seville.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Mateo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It honors St. Matthew, the evangelist and apostle.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Pablo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It honors Paul the Apostle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Rafael\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name honors the archangel Raphael, the guardian angel of humanity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Ramon\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name doesn’t honor a saint. It actually honors a sheep herder named Ramón. A creek was named after Ramón and then the city took that name. The “San” was added to make it conform to surrounding name conventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Saratoga\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named because the waters of nearby Pacific Congress Spring look similar to Congress Spring in Saratoga, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Santa Clara\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1769 the area was named in honor of Saint Clare of Assisi, co-founder of the Franciscan Order of Poor Clares.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Santa Rosa\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for either the Dominican St. Rose of Lima or for the Italian Franciscan St. Rose of Viterbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sausalito\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish sauzalito means “little willow grove.” Earlier the area had been called Horseshoe Bay. It was first called Sausalito on land grants in 1826.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sonoma\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In baptismal records from 1815, the name of the local Native American tribe was the “Chucuines o Sonomas.” In 1816, a botanist called them the “Sonomi.” According to the book, “California Place Names” by Erwin Gudde, it comes from a Patwin word for “nose.” Gudde writes there was either an Native American chief with a prominent nose, or a nose-shaped mountain. While the “valley of the moon” is poetic, Gudde finds it less credible.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sunnyvale\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named by W. E. Crossman around 1900.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Tiburon\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “shark” in Spanish. Punta de Tiburón, or “shark’s point,” was first mentioned in the diary of José Sánchez on July 6, 1823.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Treasure Island\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name was chosen in 1936 because it “perfectly expressed a glamorous, beautiful, almost fabulous island that would present the treasures of the world during the 1939 World’s Fair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Union City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Union City got its name from a steamboat called “The Union” owned by settlers John and William Horner. They established the settlement following the Gold Rush.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Vacaville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was named after Juan Manuel Vaca, who sold the land in the 1840s.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Vallejo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after a Monterey-born general, Mariano Vallejo. He laid out the city in 1850 and established the state capital there from 1851 to 1852.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Walnut Creek\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1810 it was called Arroyo de los Nogales or “creek of the walnut trees” by Padre Viader. In 1834 land grants called the stream Arroyo de las Nueces.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Yerba Buena\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “good herb” in Spanish and refers to the sweet-scented creeper Micromeria chamissonis. The plant was found near Mountain Lake in San Francisco in 1776. By 1792 it became a place name. Before the island was called Yerba Buena Island, it was known as Isla de Alcatraces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post heavily references the book “California Place Names” by Erwin G.

He turned to the Bay Curious team for help, and so we got to work researching more than 70 Bay Area place names. Below is an interactive map and list to explore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Bay Area cities got their names \" aria-label=\"Locator map\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-fCyHX\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/fCyHX/4/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"800\" height=\"700\" data-external=\"1\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Alameda\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “grove of poplar (or cottonwood) trees” or “tree-lined avenue.” By 1795, the southern part of the region was already referred to as la Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Albany\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>When the town was incorporated in 1908, it took the name Ocean View, though it was jokingly known as O’Shean’s View. The name was changed the following year because a nearby section of Berkeley was also called Ocean View. The town became Albany because the first mayor, Frank J. Roberts, was born in Albany, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Alcatraz\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “pelican.” The name Isla de Los Alcatraces was first given to what is now Yerba Buena Island because there were so many pelicans there. Later the name was transferred to the Alcatraz Island of today.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Angel Island\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Juan Manuel de Ayala named it Isla de los Ángeles in 1775.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Antioch\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1849 the place was called Smith’s Landing because it had been settled by twin brothers with the surname Smith. One of the brothers was a minister and invited a group of New Englanders to settle on his property. On July 4, 1851, the new citizens had a picnic and decided to rename the land Antioch, after a Biblical city in Syria.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Atherton\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The town was named after the businessman Faxon D. Atherton, who first visited California in 1836. Years later he acquired 500 acres where the town now sits.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Benicia\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The land was to be named Francisca, after the wife of Gen. Mariano Vallejo. But when the chief magistrate of Yerba Buena registered the name for the town, he decided to call his growing settlement San Francisco. Francisca became too similar to San Francisco, and thus the name was changed to another one of Señora Vallejo’s names, Benicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Berkeley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On May 24, 1866, the trustees of the College of California chose the name Berkeley. Frederick Billings proposed the name, inspired by a poem from George Berkeley, bishop of Cloyne. Berkeley had written the poem in 1728 while sailing to Rhode Island with the ultimate goal of founding a school in Bermuda: “Westward the course of Empire takes its way / The four first acts already past, / A fifth shall close the drama with the day / Time’s noblest offspring is the last.” Less known is that Berkeley bought slaves to work on his plantation during his stay in Rhode Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Bolinas\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1834, Ignacio Martinez mentioned a valley that people call “Baulenes.” The name probably comes from a Coast Miwok word. The name was misspelled as Ballenas from 1852 to 1910 on Coast Survey charts, an accidental analogy to the Spanish word for whale. Then in 1896, George Davidson falsely assumed the bay had been named for Francisco de Bolaños from Sebastián Vizcaíno’s expedition. This caused the spelling to change to Bolanos and Boliñas. By 1873, the USGS adopted the spelling Bolinas.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Burlingame\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named in 1868 by William Ralston. He named it after his friend, Anson Burlingame, a lawyer and politician. Notably, Burlingame had been President Abraham Lincoln’s U.S. minister to the Qing Empire in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Castro Valley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after Guillermo Castro, a rancher.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Concord\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Salvio Pacheco, owner of the Monte del Diablo rancho, selected the site for a town in 1862. He named the settlement Todos Santos, but many of the new residents were from New England with Anglo sensibilities. By 1869, the town was known as Concord, probably referring to the Concord in Massachusetts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Cupertino\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The town took the name from Cupertino Creek, which had been named for St. Joseph of Cupertino.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Daly City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>John Daly arrived in California when he was 13 in the 1850s. His mother had died on the Panama Canal crossing. The boy found work on a dairy farm and rose quickly. By 1868 he owned 250 acres. After the 1906 earthquake, many San Franciscans took refuge on Daly’s dairy farm. When the land was incorporated in 1911, the town was named in his honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Danville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named in the 1860s, possibly after Danville, Kentucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Dublin\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>James Witt Dougherty bought a large parcel of land in the area. By the 1870s many Irish immigrants had moved nearby. It is rumored that Dougherty said “There are so many Irish here, you might as well call it Dublin.”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Bay Curious\u003c/a> is a podcast that answers your questions about the Bay Area.\n Subscribe on \u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bay-curious/id1172473406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Podcasts\u003c/a>,\n \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/podcasts/500557090/bay-curious\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR One\u003c/a> or your favorite podcast platform.\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>El Cerrito\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “little hill” in Spanish. The hill it refers to is actually in Albany and is now called Albany Hill. The first record of the name was when the area was referred to as Cerrito de San Antonio in 1820, possibly to honor Anthony of Padua, a patron saint of the Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Emeryville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for Joseph Emery, who came to California in 1850 and bought 185 acres in 1859. He is known for overseeing the dredging of the Oakland estuary. He was also the president of the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Fairfield\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In the 1850s, a famous clipper ship captain, Robert H. Waterman, moved to the area, where he lived in a house modeled after the prow of a ship. When he gave the land up in order to found a new city, he named it after his hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Foster City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after T. Jack Foster, who gave land to the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Fremont\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>John C. Fremont was a soldier, explorer and politician. He was also the first Republican candidate to run for president in 1856.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Gilroy\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after the Scottish sailor, John Gilroy who was not actually named John Gilroy. His name was John Cameron. He went by Gilroy, his mothers maiden name, because he’d been a minor when he left home and was in danger of being sent back. In 1814 he was left ashore in Monterey. He became one of the first non-Spanish non-native permanent settlers in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Half Moon Bay\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named for the shape of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hayward\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The city is named after William Hayward, who opened a hotel there in 1852.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hercules\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s actually named after explosives. In 1881, the California Powder Works company began producing dynamite out of the area. It made a product called Hercules Powder. When the town became incorporated, community leaders decided to name it Hercules.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Hillsborough\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The former owner of the area was W. D. M. Howard, who was from Hillsborough, New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Lafayette\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French general who fought in the U.S. War of Independence.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Larkspur\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was subdivided by Charles W. Wright in 1887, and his wife, Georgina, named the town. She allegedly saw flowers blooming on a hill and thought the lupine was larkspur.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Livermore\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the English sailor, Robert Livermore, who came to California in the 1820s, became a Mexican citizen and got a huge land grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Los Altos\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “the heights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Los Gatos\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It is Spanish for “cats.” The Santa Cruz Mountains were once called Cuesta de los Gatos. When the railroad created a station nearby in 1878, it was named Los Gatos Creek.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Martinez\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the landowner Ignacio Martínez, who had been comandante at the Presidio of San Francisco from 1822-1827.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Menlo Park\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There were two brothers-in-law, Dennis J. Oliver and D. C. McGlynn. They came from the village of Menlough in County Galway, Ireland. Between their two ranches they built an arched gate with the inscription “Menlo Park.” When the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad reached the place in 1863, they adopted the name for the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Mill Valley\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1834 a sawmill was built in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Milpitas\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Mexican Spanish milpas means “cornfields.” The family of Máximo Martínez, as well as local Native Americans, had once worked in nearby cornfields.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003ca id=\"moraga\">\u003c/a>Moraga\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after Joaquín Moraga, a soldier in the San Francisco Company. His father was the explorer Gabriel Moraga.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Morgan Hill\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after Morgan Hill, a ranch owner.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Mountain View\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for a stage station that had views of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Mount Diablo and Mount Hamilton.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Napa\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There are many theories for what Napa could mean. According to some, Napa is Southern Patwin for “grizzly bear.” Others think it comes from the Eastern and Central Pomo, who have the word naphó, which means “people family.” A third theory is that it comes from the Suisun Patwin and could mean “near mother,” “near home” or “motherland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Newark\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1876, the South Pacific Coast Railroad Co. named the railroad station after the New Jersey home of A.E. Davis and his brother.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Nicasio\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It’s believed that Nicasio was a Native American who was baptized with the name of one of several saints named Nicasius.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Novato\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name is probably from a chief of the Hookooeko or Miwok. Historians believe the chief had probably been baptized with the name of St. Novatus.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Oakland\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish times, part of the area had been called Encinal del Temescal or “Oak Grove by the Sweathouse” because of a beautiful oak grove. When the area was incorporated as a town, the name was spontaneously chosen.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Orinda\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The sheriff and landowner William Camron was married to Alice M. Camron. Mrs. Camron chose to name their home in honor of her favorite poet, Katherine Fowler Philips, who was known as “The Matchless Orinda.”*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pacifica\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Because the city is next to the Pacific Ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Palo Alto\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Palo means stick in Spanish, but in Spanish California it meant tree. It may refer to a specific redwood tree seen by the Anza expedition, that “appears from a distance like a tower.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pescadero\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish it means “fishing place” because people caught salmon there.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Petaluma\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Coast Miwok, péta lúuma means “hillside back” or “hillside ridge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Piedmont\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was inspired either by the French word piedmont or the Italian word piemonte, both meaning “foot (of the) mountain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pleasanton\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name has nothing to do with “pleasant town.” It’s named after Gen. Alfred Pleasonton. The name was misspelled by a U.S. Postal Service worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Pittsburg\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named after the Pittsburg Coal Co., which was named after the city in Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Point Reyes\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>An expedition led by Sebastian Vizcaíno passed the point on Jan 6, 1603, the Day of the Three Holy Kings. The expedition members found shelter in present-day Drakes Bay and named it Puerto de los Reyes. That name did not stick, but on maps Punta de los Reyes continued to be used.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Redwood City\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>There had been a forest and lumber industry nearby. The site has also been called Red Woods City, Red Woods Embarcadero and the Redwoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Richmond\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named Richmond in 1852. It’s a popular place name in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Bruno\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named for St. Bruno of Cologne, founder of the Carthusian Order.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Francisco\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was originally called Yerba Buena in the 1700s by Spanish-speaking explorers. It was officially changed to San Francisco in 1847. The namesake was Mission San Francisco de Asís a la Laguna de los Dolores or “The mission of our seraphic father Saint Francis of Assisi at the Lake of the Sorrows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Jose\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>On November 29, 1777, \u003cem>Pueblo de San Jose\u003c/em> was founded as California’s first civilian settlement. This Pueblo, and eventually the city, were both named after Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary.*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Leandro\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The city got its name from Arroyo de San Leandro. The name probably honors Saint Leander, archbishop of Seville.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Mateo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It honors St. Matthew, the evangelist and apostle.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Pablo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It honors Paul the Apostle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003caside class=\"alignleft utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__bayCuriousPodcastShortcode__bayCurious\">\u003cimg src=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bayCuriousLogo.png alt=\"Bay Curious Podcast\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n What do you wonder about the Bay Area, its culture or people that you want KQED to investigate?\n \u003ca href=\"/news/series/baycurious\">Ask Bay Curious.\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Rafael\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name honors the archangel Raphael, the guardian angel of humanity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>San Ramon\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The name doesn’t honor a saint. It actually honors a sheep herder named Ramón. A creek was named after Ramón and then the city took that name. The “San” was added to make it conform to surrounding name conventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Saratoga\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named because the waters of nearby Pacific Congress Spring look similar to Congress Spring in Saratoga, New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Santa Clara\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1769 the area was named in honor of Saint Clare of Assisi, co-founder of the Franciscan Order of Poor Clares.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Santa Rosa\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Named for either the Dominican St. Rose of Lima or for the Italian Franciscan St. Rose of Viterbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sausalito\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In Spanish sauzalito means “little willow grove.” Earlier the area had been called Horseshoe Bay. It was first called Sausalito on land grants in 1826.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sonoma\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In baptismal records from 1815, the name of the local Native American tribe was the “Chucuines o Sonomas.” In 1816, a botanist called them the “Sonomi.” According to the book, “California Place Names” by Erwin Gudde, it comes from a Patwin word for “nose.” Gudde writes there was either an Native American chief with a prominent nose, or a nose-shaped mountain. While the “valley of the moon” is poetic, Gudde finds it less credible.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Sunnyvale\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named by W. E. Crossman around 1900.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Tiburon\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “shark” in Spanish.

They established the settlement following the Gold Rush.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Vacaville\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The area was named after Juan Manuel Vaca, who sold the land in the 1840s.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Vallejo\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It was named after a Monterey-born general, Mariano Vallejo. He laid out the city in 1850 and established the state capital there from 1851 to 1852.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Walnut Creek\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1810 it was called Arroyo de los Nogales or “creek of the walnut trees” by Padre Viader. In 1834 land grants called the stream Arroyo de las Nueces.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Yerba Buena\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>It means “good herb” in Spanish and refers to the sweet-scented creeper Micromeria chamissonis. The plant was found near Mountain Lake in San Francisco in 1776. By 1792 it became a place name. Before the island was called Yerba Buena Island, it was known as Isla de Alcatraces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post heavily references the book “California Place Names” by Erwin G.
