History

The city gets its name from the views of the Santa Cruz Mountains. In 'Bittersweet: Memories of Old Mountain View, an Oral History', residents of Japanese ancestry recall their family's strawberry fields adjoining Moffett Field. Row crops and orchards were common during this era, when there was still open space between Palo Alto and Mountain View. Local watering holes for workers included Chubby's Broiler (which once stood at Ellis and Fairchild near Hwy 101, but which moved in 1999 to near Tasman and Lawrence Expressway in Sunnyvale ) and Walker's Wagon Wheel on Middlefield Road near Whisman (since torn down). The hospital facility at 2500 Grant Road has been in continual operation since.
