Home Saratoga:
Our village is located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains about 10 miles southwest of San Jose at the entrance of a historic pass which was once a toll road. Big Basin Way is our downtown main street. It becomes Congress Springs Road west of town. And it is Highway 9 all the way. Many uphill miles later as it crosses the ridge line which is Skyline Boulevard, it continues down into the San Lorenzo Valley as Highway 9 all the way to Santa Cruz. The entire San Lorenzo Valley was logged out in the late 1800's with the exception of what is now known as Big Basin Park. Horse-drawn teams and wagons used the road to haul redwood logs out to a sawmill about 2 miles west of the village. Tolls were charged on a portion of the road until it became public property.

By 1856, the
community became the county seat of San Mateo County about eleven
years before we were officially incorporated. There are some historical
houses that may be of interest to history buffs: One is the Lathrop House,
a mansion built in 1863, now a post-Civil War museum on Hamilton Street.
Another is the Filoli house built in the early 1900's located on Canada
Road. It is a 654 acre property with magnificent gardens that have rare
trees, plants and flowers. It is open to tourists part of the year. Links:
