Stanford, California, home to Stanford University, is an unincorporated part of the city of Palo Alto, CA. Palo Alto is the “birthplace of Silicon Valley” and home to tech giants like Hewlett Packard (HP). The city is located in the northwest portion of Santa Clara County and the southeast section of the San Francisco Peninsula, on the west side of the bay, approximately halfway between San Jose and San Francisco. This region was originally owned by Mexico, which was, in turn, under Spanish rule at the time, so many of the Spanish street names remain. Palo Alto itself is named for a coastal redwood tree called El Palo Alto. The area is known for its educated residents and high cost of living. The daytime population is more than twice as high as the nighttime population, with so many workers and students commuting.
Summers in the Bay Area are warm and dry, while winters are cool and wet. However, the climate is moderate overall, without high heat, freezing cold, or much rainfall. The most notable local weather feature is the fog, caused by the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains. Don’t forget to check the weather a few days before you visit.
