• History (GNIS):
  In August, 1854, D. J. Oliver and D. C. McGlynn, brothers-in-low, from Menlough, county Galway, Ireland, erected an arched gate at the joint entrance to their ranches with the inscription "Menlo Park" and the date. When the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad reached the place in 1863, it adopted the name for the station. The gate stood until July 7, 1922, when an automobile struck and destroyed the landmark, (Gudde's California Place Names,Stanger, p.152). (US-T121)
