The city began its development in the early 1860's just after a rail line was completed up the peninsula. Wealthly individuals chose to build summer and weekend houses there, and some of those wealthy land owners also developed businesses in the town.
In the 1880's the town had terrible experiences with fires. There was no fire department. Help had to travel all the way from Redwood City. After the first two fires, a town meeting was called, during which the building in which the meeting was held burned down.
