History

The origin of the name of 'Menlo Park, California' (ca 1850) pre-dates any work done by Thomas Edison (ca 1876) in Menlo Park, New Jersey Park, New Jersey. McGlynn, purchased a tract of land on the former Rancho de las Pulgas. In 1863, the San Francisco and San Jose Rail Road named a nearby station "Menlo Park" after the sign. The town of Menlo Park grew up around this station, becoming a popular home for San Francisco businessmen. The original arch which gave its name to the stations and ultimately the city survived until 1922, when it was destroyed in an automobile accident.
