The area was first organized in 1853 as the Fremont Judicial Township, later known informally as Banks and Braes. In 1906 Paul Shoup, a Southern Pacific Railroad executive, and his colleagues formed the Altos Land Company and began developing Los Altos on 140 acres bought from Sarah Winchester, hoping to make it a commuter town linking Palo Alto and Los Gatos. On April 19, 1908, the Southern Pacific began running five steam trains a day through Los Altos on its new Mayfield Cutoff, with two freight cars serving as the depot, and the first commercial building downtown, Eschenbruecher's Hardware, went up. A Craftsman-style train station was built at 288 First Street in 1913.
More about Los Altos
By 1949 many residents were unhappy with Santa Clara County's zoning and feared annexation by Palo Alto or Mountain View, and they voted to incorporate, making Los Altos the eleventh city in the county on December 1, 1952. Train service ended in January 1964, and the right-of-way became Foothill Expressway, where a 1970 county study of soundwall designs produced what may have been the first scientifically designed sound barrier, cutting traffic noise by seven to ten decibels.
