The area of modern-day Menlo Park has a history of inhabitation dating back thousands of years with various indigenous cultures thriving off of the fertile soil, fresh waters, and abundance of wildlife. The latest of these peoples were the Ohlone Native Americans who were met by the Spanish as early as the mid-17th century. Menlo Park was included in the Rancho de las Pulgas land grant of 1795. The California Gold Rush attracted non-Spanish settlers such as Dennis J. Oliver and his brother-in-law D. C. McGlynn who, in 1854, purchased 1,700 acres of land that was once a part of the Rancho de las Pulgas. In the same year, the pair built a gate with an arch that had the words "Menlo Park" inscribed on it along with the date "August 1854." The entrance of this gate is now the intersection of Middle Avenue and El Camino Real. The San Francisco and San Jose Railroad established a railroad line that ran from San Francisco all the way to Mayfield. The railroad built a station in the area near the arch and named the station after the inscription. You can find that station standing till this day, utilized as the local Chamber of Commerce.
