History

 
San Carlos was originally part of Rancho de las Pulgas, granted to Californio politician José Darío Argüello in 1795.

Native Americans

Prior to the Spanish arrival in 1769, the land of San Carlos was occupied by a group of Native Americans who called themselves the Lamchins.[12] While they considered themselves to have a separate identity from other local tribes, modern scholars consider them to be a part of the Ohlone or Costanoan tribes that inhabited the Bay Area.

The Lamchins referred to the area of their primary residence—probably on the north bank of Pulgas creek—as "Cachanihtac", which included their word for vermin. When the Spanish arrived, they translated this as "the fleas", or "las Pulgas", giving many places and roads their modern names.

The Native American life was one of traditional hunting and gathering. There was plentiful game and fowl available, and fish could be caught in the San Francisco Bay. There were also grasses, plants and oak trees (for acorns), and archaeological finds of mortars and pestles indicate that these source were processed for food. No doubt they also participated in the regional trading networks for goods that could not be gathered or grown locally.

The Lamchin permanent village is thought to have been between the modern streets of Alameda de las Pulgas and Cordilleras Avenue, near San Carlos Avenue.

Spanish colonial era

In 1769, Gaspar de Portolá was the first westerner to reach the San Francisco Bay. While early historians placed his approach to the Bay from the Pacific Ocean as coming over the San Carlos hills, present researchers believe this "discovery" actually occurred in present-day Belmont.

The Spanish, with overwhelming military and economic advantages over the native population, quickly dominated the Bay Area. Initially, the missionaries invited local people to join them at Mission San Francisco de Asís (Mission Dolores) and convert to Christianity. Facing the end of their way of life, the local population had little choice but to seek assistance from the missions and convert to Christianity.[citation needed] Traditional trade routes and alliances fell apart. The Lamchin were one of the first local peoples to move to the mission. The first Lamchin were baptized at the mission in 1777 and last 1794. A total of 139 Lamchin people appear in the mission's baptismal records.[13]

Afterward, the land was deeded in large "ranchos", or ranches, to prominent and wealthy Spaniards, with no concern for the native populations that lived on them.[citation needed] The new ranch owners raised cattle on the lands, displacing the native game populations and disrupting the food supply of the indigenous population. As well, the Spanish strongly discouraged the Native Americans from their periodic controlled burns, which helped maintain the grasslands.[citation needed]

The land now occupied by the city of San Carlos was deeded as a single large rancho to Don José Darío Argüello. He and his family did not live there, but rather raised cattle and crops for money on "Rancho Cachinetac" (a Spanish derivation of "Cachanihtac"). José's son Luis Argüello was the first California-born governor of the state, and after his death in 1830 the remaining family moved to the ranch, now known as Rancho de las Pulgas. The family abode was located at the present-day intersection of Magnolia and Cedar streets.

Late 19th century

While the California Gold Rush of 1849 found no gold nearby, disappointed Sierra Nevada prospectors made their way to the region, bringing the first non-Spanish western settlers. The Argüello family retained deed to their ranch through the transfer of governments to the United States, and, in the 1850s, began selling parcels of it through their agent S. M. Mezes.

While the port of Redwood City, to the south, and the town of Belmont, to the north, both grew quickly in the late 19th century, San Carlos' growth was much slower. Major portions were purchased by the Brittan Family, the Hull Family, the Ralston family and Timothy Guy Phelps.

 
Parcel divide of the Phelps Estate as of 1917

Timothy Phelps, a wealthy politician, made an early attempt to further develop the San Carlos area. He paid for significant improvements such as sewer lines and street grading, and began to promote lot sales in what he immodestly called "The Town of Phelps".

Phelps' sales were largely unsuccessful, and he eventually sold much of his land to Nicholas T. Smith's San Carlos Land Development Company. Other developers were not overly fond of Phelps' eponymous efforts, and decided to rename the town. Some maps are existent referring to the area as "Lomitas" ("little hills" in Spanish) but eventually due to historical legend, the name "San Carlos" was chosen. As noted previously, it was believed that Portolá had first seen the San Francisco Bay on November 4 from the San Carlos hills. November 4 is the feast day of St. Charles. As well, the Spanish king at the time was Carlos III, and the first ship to sail into San Francisco bay was the San Carlos.

The newly named region—not yet incorporated—received a boost with the construction of the Peninsula Railroad Corridor in 1863, and the addition, of a station at San Carlos in 1888.

Growth remained slow through the turn of the 20th century, with most residents enjoying the short 35-minute train ride to San Francisco while living in a rural setting. The Hull family operated a dairy located at the modern intersection of Hull and Laurel. Many of the other residents which were not involved in agriculture were wealthy business and professional men who worked with the railroad or in San Francisco.

Despite the efforts of the developers, growth was very slow in this period, and San Carlos ended the 19th century with fewer than one hundred houses and families.

1900–1941

 
City limits and streets in 1937

The turn of the 20th century saw the layout of the initial town streets. While "Old County Road" east of the railroad track had been in use as a stage line since at least 1850, the present-day layout west of the railroad track was constructed in the first years of 1900. Cedar, Elm, Laurel, Magnolia, Maple (renamed El Camino Real) and Walnut were put down in this time.

Growth remained slow through the first fifteen years of the new century, but in 1918 the town had grown enough to build a school at 600 Elm Street. One year previously Frederick Drake ("The Father of San Carlos") had purchased 130 acres (53 hectares) of real estate in San Carlos in foreclosure, and began marketing it. Growth came quickly, and the early 1920s saw Drake build an office at the southwest corner of Cypress (now San Carlos Ave) and El Camino Real, which is still existent, and as of May 2013 is home to an AT&T Cellular store. In the early 1920s, the cypresses along Cypress Ave. were removed, and the street widened and renamed San Carlos Ave. In 1923 the growing municipality founded a fire station, and in 1925 the founders voted to incorporate.

The Great Depression affected families in San Carlos, as it did everywhere, but growth continued, and population grew from approximately 600 at incorporation in 1925 to 5,000 in 1941.

While services such as stores increased in this period, by the beginning of World War II San Carlos was still known in the Bay Area as a rural community. Most of the land in the municipality was still used for agricultural purposes, and photographs of the time show a landscape with few houses separated by large fields.

1941–1945

War Dogs

During World War II, not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the American Kennel Club and a new group calling itself "Dogs for Defense" mobilized dog owners across the country to donate quality animals to the Quartermaster Corps. Dogs donated by a patriotic public to the Army saved the lives of a number of soldiers in combat.[14]

In October 1942, the US Army and “Dogs for Defense” came to San Carlos. The 178-acre site, at the top of today's Club and Crestview Drives, which was locally known as the H and H Ranch, was selected to become the US Army War Dog Reception and Training Center[15] (also known as Western Remount Area Reception and Training Center). It was established between October 15, 1942, and November 7, 1942.

The first enlisted men for the army post were temporarily housed in the San Carlos Fire Station (located on Laurel Street between San Carlos Ave. and Holly St.) from December 15 to 28, 1942. Each dog handler was given four dogs to train, and at the end of the course, the trainer selected the best one and shipped out.[15] Dogs were trained for sentry, attack, scout, and messenger roles, and later to detect mines. 1,200 dogs could be accommodated at any one time.

The first army dog platoon to go overseas in the Pacific was the 25th Quartermaster Corps War Dog Platoon, under the command of 1st Lt. Bruce D. Walker. When they left San Carlos, on May 11, 1944, none of the handlers knew what their final destination would be. They left via San Francisco aboard the Liberty ship SS John Isaacson for assignments in the Pacific Theatre.[16]

The facility closed in October 1944,[15] with approximately 4,500 dogs going through the facility during the war.

1945 to the end of the 20th century

In 1944, Dalmo Victor established the city's first large electronics plant, followed soon after by Eitel McCullough, Varian Associates (Later occupied by Tesla Motors and currently by Devil's Canyon Brewing Company), and Lenkurt Electric Company.

Establishment of these two firms was a factor in the quadrupling of San Carlos population in the decade after 1940. In 1950, when the population was 14,371, the city boasted a total of 89 industries: wholesalers, manufacturers and distributors, producing a variety of commodities from electronics to cosmetic. By 1958, the electronic industry comprised a substantial segment of the city's industrial area.

In the late 1940s when Bayshore was a two-lane road, the San Carlos Airport was moved from its former location between Brittan and San Carlos Avenues to its present site. The airport was bought by the county from Cal West Yacht Harbor in 1964 for $990,000.

In 2022, the city received national attention after a woman was beheaded with a sword.[17][18][19]

San Carlos Library

The public schools in San Carlos are run by the San Carlos School District, although the school district boundaries do not cover the entire city of San Carlos. Within the city, there are several elementary schools (grades K–3), two upper elementary schools (grades 4–5), and two middle schools (grades 6–8). Since the 1982 closure of San Carlos High School, local students have attended Sequoia High School in Redwood City and Carlmont High School in Belmont.

In 1996, Vice President Al Gore came to speak at Arundel Elementary School in regards to Net Day 1996. Former president Bill Clinton came to Charter Learning Center in 1997 to recognize the site as the second charter school in the nation.

Middle schools

High schools

Up until 1982 San Carlos had its own public high school, San Carlos High School. It was closed due to a decline in student enrollment from an overall aging of San Carlos residents, with the students of San Carlos middle schools divided up among the nearby Carlmont High School in Belmont and Sequoia High School in Redwood City. The playing fields were kept and converted into Highlands Park, which now hosts many local youth sporting groups, while the school was replaced with new housing. By the late 1990s and early first decade of the 21st century, city demographics changed again to a new generation of younger families with children, with the concurrent growth in student populations a new challenge for local schools.

In December 2014, the Sequoia Union High School District proposed development of a small high school in east San Carlos.[38] Due to community opposition, the District instead selected a location in Menlo Park, which opened in 2019 as TIDE Academy.

Parochial schools

  • St. Charles School[39]

Private, non-parochial schools

  • Arbor Bay School[40]

Infrastructure

Bus service

Transportation options include membership in the SamTrans (San Mateo County Transit) bus system and a Caltrain station. The administrative headquarters of both agencies are located at 1250 San Carlos Avenue. In 2002, the city began experimenting with a free shuttle bus service named SCOOT, short for San Carlos Optimum Operational Transit, to help with transportation difficulties for those living in the hills of the town, and especially to make up for a lack of school buses. However, voters rejected a parcel tax that placed 100% of the financial burden on property owners and the SCOOT program was dismantled on June 17, 2005.[41]

Airport

San Carlos Airport is located in San Carlos.

the Spanish arrival in 1769 the land of San Carlos was occupied by a group of Native Americans who called themselves the Lamchins 12 While they considered themselves to have a separate identity from other local tribes modern scholars consider them to be a part of the Ohlone or Costanoan tribes that inhabited the Bay Area The Lamchins referred to the area of their primary residence probably on the north bank of Pulgas creek as Cachanihtac which included their word for vermin When the Spanish arrived they translated this as the fleas or las Pulgas giving many places and roads their modern names The Native American life was one of traditional hunting and gathering There was plentiful game and fowl available and fish could be caught in the San Francisco Bay There were also grasses plants and oak trees for acorns and archaeological finds of mortars and pestles indicate that these source were processed for food No doubt they also participated in the regional trading networks for goods that could not be gathered or grown locally The Lamchin permanent village is thought to have been between the modern streets of Alameda de las Pulgas and Cordilleras Avenue near San Carlos Avenue Spanish

as coming over the San Carlos hills present researchers believe this discovery actually occurred in present day Belmont The Spanish with overwhelming military and economic advantages over the native population quickly dominated the Bay Area Initially the missionaries invited local people to join them at Mission San Francisco de Asis Mission Dolores and convert to Christianity Facing the end of their way of life the local population had little choice but to seek assistance from the missions and convert to Christianity citation needed Traditional trade routes and alliances fell apart The Lamchin were one of the first local peoples to move to the mission The first Lamchin were baptized at the mission in 1777 and last 1794 A total of 139 Lamchin people appear in the mission s baptismal records 13 Afterward the land was deeded in large ranchos or ranches to prominent and wealthy Spaniards with no concern for the native populations that lived on them citation needed The new ranch owners raised cattle on the lands displacing the native game populations and disrupting the food supply of the indigenous population As well the Spanish strongly discouraged the Native Americans from their periodic controlled burns which helped maintain the grasslands citation needed The land now occupied by the city of San Carlos was deeded as a single large rancho to Don Jose Dario Arguello He and his family did not live there but rather raised cattle and crops for money on Rancho Cachinetac a Spanish derivation of Cachanihtac Jose s son Luis Arguello was the first California born governor of the state and after his death in 1830 the remaining family moved to the ranch now known as Rancho de las Pulgas The family abode was located at the present day intersection of Magnolia and Cedar

first non Spanish western settlers The Arguello family retained deed to their ranch through the transfer of governments to the United States and in the 1850s began selling parcels of it through their agent S M Mezes While the port of Redwood City to the south and the town of Belmont to the north both grew quickly in the late 19th century San Carlos growth was much slower Major portions were purchased by the Brittan Family the Hull Family the Ralston family and Timothy Guy Phelps Parcel divide of the Phelps Estate as of 1917 Timothy Phelps a wealthy politician made an early attempt to further develop the San Carlos area He paid for significant improvements such as sewer lines and street grading and began to promote lot sales in what he immodestly called The Town of Phelps Phelps sales were largely unsuccessful and he eventually sold much of his land to Nicholas T Smith s San Carlos Land Development Company Other developers were not overly fond of Phelps eponymous efforts and decided to rename the town Some maps are existent referring to the area as Lomitas little hills in Spanish but eventually due to historical legend the name San Carlos was chosen As noted previously it was believed that Portola had first seen the San Francisco Bay on November 4 from the San Carlos hills November 4 is the feast day of St Charles As well the Spanish king at the time was Carlos III and the first ship to sail into San Francisco bay was the San Carlos The newly named region not yet incorporated received a boost with the construction of the Peninsula Railroad Corridor in 1863 and the addition of a station at San Carlos in 1888 Growth remained slow through the turn of the 20th century with most residents enjoying the short 35 minute train ride to San Francisco while living in a rural setting The Hull family operated a dairy located at the modern intersection of Hull and Laurel Many of the other residents which were not involved in agriculture were wealthy business and professional men who worked with the railroad or in San Francisco Despite the efforts of the developers growth was very slow in this period and San Carlos ended the 19th century with fewer than one

of the railroad track had been in use as a stage line since at least 1850 the present day layout west of the railroad track was constructed in the first years of 1900 Cedar Elm Laurel Magnolia Maple renamed El Camino Real and Walnut were put down in this time Growth remained slow through the first fifteen years of the new century but in 1918 the town had grown enough to build a school at 600 Elm Street One year previously Frederick Drake The Father of San Carlos had purchased 130 acres 53 hectares of real estate in San Carlos in foreclosure and began marketing it Growth came quickly and the early 1920s saw Drake build an office at the southwest corner of Cypress now San Carlos Ave and El Camino Real which is still existent and as of May 2013 update is home to an AT amp T Cellular store In the early 1920s the cypresses along Cypress Ave were removed and the street widened and renamed San Carlos Ave In 1923 the growing municipality founded a fire station and in 1925 the founders voted to incorporate The Great Depression affected families in San Carlos as it did everywhere but growth continued and population grew from approximately 600 at incorporation in 1925 to 5 000 in 1941 While services such as stores increased in this period by the beginning of World War II San Carlos was still known in the Bay Area as a rural community Most of the land in the municipality was still used for agricultural purposes and photographs of the time show a landscape with few houses separated by large fields 1941 1945 Edit War Dogs Edit During World War II not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor the American Kennel Club and a new group calling itself Dogs for Defense mobilized dog owners across the country to donate quality animals to the Quartermaster Corps Dogs donated by a patriotic public to the Army saved the lives of a number of soldiers in combat 14 In October 1942 the US Army and Dogs for Defense came to San Carlos The 178 acre site at the top of today s Club and Crestview Drives which was locally known as the H and H Ranch was selected to become the US Army War Dog Reception and Training Center 15 also known as Western Remount Area Reception and Training Center It was established between October 15 1942 and November 7 1942 The first enlisted men for the army post were temporarily housed in the San Carlos Fire Station located on Laurel Street between San Carlos Ave and Holly St from December 15 to 28 1942 Each dog handler was given four dogs to train and at the end of the course the trainer selected the best one and shipped out 15 Dogs were trained for sentry attack scout and messenger roles and later to detect mines 1 200 dogs could be accommodated at any one time The first army dog platoon to go overseas in the Pacific was the 25th Quartermaster Corps War Dog Platoon under the command of 1st Lt Bruce D Walker When they left San Carlos on May 11 1944 none of the handlers knew what their final destination would be They left via San Francisco aboard
