Nestled within Santa Clara County, Palo Alto, meaning 'tall stick' in Spanish, is named after a majestic coastal redwood tree, El Palo Alto. The city, initially formed as the township of Mayfield in 1855, has grown through the centuries to become one of America's most expensive cities, boasting over 68,000 residents. What started as a humble township was developed into a city by none other than Leland Stanford, the founder of Stanford University in 1894.

Rich in history and culture, the cityscape is adorned with iconic landmarks like the Stanford University campus, amidst quaint neighbourhoods like Professorville and Ramona Street. Due to the city's pivotal role in Silicon Valley's growth narrative, leading tech companies such as HP, VMware, and Tesla, among others, have established their mammoth headquarters here.
