East Palo Alto celebrating 40th anniversary as a city this weekend

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:04 GMT

East Palo Alto will be celebrating its 40th anniversary as a city this week, and you’re not alone if that sounds strange to you.The San Mateo County community of East Palo Alto came into being about a century ago, the result of the merger of two towns — Ravenswood and Runnymede — trying to avoid annexation by Palo Alto and Menlo Park. But it remained unincorporated until July 1, 1983 — despite a few unsuccessful incorporations attempts in the 1960s and ’70s, including one that would have renamed the then-Black majority city after Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.Divided by Highway 101, East Palo Alto has had a diverse population for decades — partly due to abhorrent redlining policies and gentrification — and is now largely Latino. But the 2.5-square mile city has undergone startling physical change in the past quarter-century, too. Whiskey Gulch was developed into University Circle with the Four Seasons Hotel as its sparkling gem. Silicon Vall...
