An upscale residential city in the Midwest of California, USA. Population: 56,000 (1990). Founded in 1891 when Stanford University was opened by AL Stanford, the city had a Southern Pacific Railroad station. The city's name means "tall tree" in Spanish, referring to the redwood tree that stands at the northwestern edge of the town. This is designed on the official seal of the city and Stanford University. To the south of the city lies Silicon Valley, known for its electronics industry.
