East Palo Alto Summary
History
East Palo Alto is a city located in San Mateo County, California, United States. It is situated on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay, across the Dumbarton Bridge from the city of Palo Alto. East Palo Alto was incorporated in 1983, and is the only city in the county that is predominantly African American.
East Palo Alto has a long and rich history. The area was originally inhabited by the Ohlone people, who lived in the area for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The first Europeans to settle in the area were the Spanish, who established a mission in 1777. The area was then part of the Rancho de las Pulgas, a Mexican land grant.
In the late 19th century, the area was developed as a farming community, with many of the farms owned by Italian immigrants. The area was known as Ravenswood, and was annexed by the city of Palo Alto in 1925.
In the 1950s, the area began to experience rapid population growth, as African Americans moved to the area from the South. This influx of new residents led to overcrowding and poverty, and the area became known as the “Danger Zone” due to its high crime rate.
In 1983, the residents of East Palo Alto voted to incorporate as a city, in order to gain more control over their own destiny. Since then, the city has worked to improve its economy and quality of life.
Geography
East Palo Alto is located in San Mateo County, California, on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay. It is bordered by the cities of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City. The city covers an area of 4.5 square miles, and has a population of approximately 30,000 people.
The city is situated on the San Francisco Bay, and is crossed by several creeks, including San Francisquito Creek, Adobe Creek, and San Antonio Creek. The city is also home to several parks, including the Ravenswood Open Space Preserve, which is a popular destination for hikers and birdwatchers.
