Los Altos is a city nestled in Santa Clara County in the San Francisco Bay Area. It initially started out as an agricultural town with apricot orchards and a few summer cottages for people who visited the area as a retreat. Since then, Los Altos has grown into an affluent bedroom town for those employed in Silicon Valley. Among the several distinctive features, the commercial district of Los Altos is strictly limited to the downtown area, while small office and shopping parks line El Camino Real and Foothill Expressway. The population is approximately 29,000 people and is comprised primarily of upper-middle-class, white-collar professionals. The area of modern-day Los Altos was initially called Banks and Braes. Nevertheless, the executive of Southern Pacific Railroad, Paul Shoup, established the Altos Land Company in 1906 and began developing Los Altos on 140 acres of land purchased from Sarah Winchester. From that, Shoup initiated the train-a-day operation to and from the San Francisco area.
