Redwood City (Paperback)

Redwood Cityas slogan, aClimate Best By Government Test, a describes the fair weather at San Mateo Countyas seat, which was established in 1851 as the bayside terminus for the peninsulaas lumber industry. Wharfs located along Redwood Creek formed the basis of the townas commercial district, and in the 20th century, the cityas port expanded with new industries, such as the Pacific-Portland Cement Company, the Morgan Oyster Company, and Leslie Salt. Meanwhile, Redwood Cityas downtown area hosted many civic events, numerous theaters, and the regionas largest retail district. In the 1950s, the city grew along Woodside Road and, soon thereafter, when Redwood Shores was added to its boundaries, expanded north. Today Redwood City has come full circle with a revitalized downtown and a beautifully restored courthouse square.
