Morgan Hill lies at the foot of stately El Toro Mountain in
southern Santa Clara Valley. Martin Murphy Sr. settled here in
1845, and only a generation later the Murphy family had managed to
acquire 70,000 acres. Martin's son Daniel owned over a million
acres in the western United States when his only daughter, the
beautiful Diana, secretly married Hiram Morgan Hill in 1882. Hiram
and Diana inherited part of the original ranch, where they built
their lovely Villa Mira Monte. Although the Southern Pacific
Railroad tried to name the nearby depot "Huntington," passengers
always asked to stop at Morgan Hill's ranch, a popular christening
of a community surrounded by thriving orchards and vineyards. After
World War II, Morgan Hill became a desirable suburb and has
remained so through the birth of Silicon Valley.
