Etymology
Los Gatos is Spanish for "The Cats".[13] The name derives from the 1839 Alta California
land-grant that encompassed the area, which was called La Rinconada de Los Gatos,
("Cat's Corner"), where "the cats" refers to the cougars and bobcats that are indigenous
to the foothills in which the town is located. The pronunciation is often anglicized to /l??s
'gæt?s/ lawss-GAT-?s,[14] although one also hears pronunciations truer to the original
Spanish, /lo?s'g??to?s/ lohss-GAH-tohss[citation needed].
History
Overview
The town's founding dates to the mid-1850s with the building of a flour-milling operation,
Forbes Mill, by James Alexander Forbes along Los Gatos Creek. The mill's two-story stone
storage annex has been preserved as a museum just off of Main Street.
The settlement that was established in the 1860s was originally named for the mill, but the
name was changed to Los Gatos after the Spanish land grant. The town was
incorporated in 1887 and remained an important town for the logging industry in the
Santa Cruz Mountains until the end of the 19th century. In the early 20th century, the town
became a thriving agricultural town with apricots, grapes and prunes being grown in the
area. By the 1920s, the Los Gatos area had a local reputation as an arts colony, attracting
painters, musicians, writers, actors and their bohemian associates as residents over the
years. The violinist Yehudi Menuhin lived there as a boy;[15] the actresses Joan Fontaine
and Olivia de Havilland (sisters) were graduates of Los Gatos High School; John Steinbeck
wrote The Grapes of Wrath there (the location is now located in Monte Sereno); and Beat
hero Neal Cassady lived there in the 1950s. Along with much of the Santa Clara Valley,
Los Gatos became a suburban community for San Jose beginning in the 1950s, and the
town was mostly built-out by the 1980s.
Downtown Los Gatos has retained and restored many of its Victorian-era homes and
commercial buildings. Other notable buildings are the Forbes Mill annex, dating to 1880
and now housing a history museum; Los Gatos High School which dates from the 1920s;
and the Old Town Shopping Center, formerly the University Avenue School (the school
was established in 1882; the current buildings date to 1923).
A number of brick buildings in Downtown Los Gatos were destroyed or seriously damaged
in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, though the district was quickly rebuilt and has made
a full recovery.
Recently[when?] the Main Street Bridge has emulated the Ponte des Artes bridge in Paris
by displaying love locks for anniversaries and engagements.[citation needed]
Rail transportation
Transport by rail was an early aspect of Los Gatos. The South Pacific Coast Railroad, a
popular narrow-gauge line from Alameda (and San Francisco via ferry) to Santa Cruz in
the late 19th century, stopped in Los Gatos.[16] Southern Pacific took over this line in 1887.
Los Gatos was also near the Southern Pacific resort town of Holy City, along the rail line in
the Santa Cruz Mountains. The last Southern Pacific passenger train to Santa Cruz left Los
Gatos in March 1940. In town, the rail line used to run along the shore of Vasona Reservoir
to the present-day location of the Post Office, following the path of what is now a
continuous string of parking lots between Santa Cruz Ave. and University Ave. There was
also a streetcar-type rail line with service to Saratoga and San Jose. Streetcar service via
the Peninsular Railway started about 1905 and ended about 1933. San Francisco
commuter trains continued into downtown until 1959, and Vasona Junction until 1964. The
site of the old railroad station is now occupied by Town Plaza and the post office.
Oil boom
Between 1891 and 1929 about 20 oil wells were drilled in and around Los Gatos, starting a
minor oil-drilling boom.[17] About 1861, small amounts of oil were discovered in streams,
springs, and water wells in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the vicinity of Moody Gulch, about
6.5 km south of the Los Gatos Post Office.[18] An intense search for oil ensued, resulting in
the drilling of many wells and establishment of the Moody Gulch oil field.[18][19] The
Moody Gulch oil field, however, never met expectations, and it was abandoned about
1938 after producing a total of about 98,000 barrels of oil and 44 MMCF of gas.[18] In 1891,
one of the Moody Gulch drillers, R.C. McPherson, found oil in a well along San Jose Road
(now Los Gatos Boulevard) in the Santa Clara Valley flatlands, about 3 km northeast of
the Los Gatos Post Office.[18] Although commercial production was never established,
small amounts of oil were produced for use as fuel, lubricant, and road tar by local
residents.[18]
Geography and environment
Los Gatos is located at 37°14'10?N 121°57'42?W (37.236044, -121.961768).[20] Los Gatos is
bisected by State Route 17, which runs through the town from south to north.

State Route 85 roughly marks the northern boundary of the town, although a few pockets
of homes to its North are included. Highway 9 (Los Gatos-Saratoga Road) from the coast
terminates at Highway 17. Downtown Los Gatos, the area on and around Santa Cruz
Avenue and Main Street, is located in the southwest quadrant of town. A left exit on
northbound Highway 17 becomes the south end of South Santa Cruz Avenue, leading
into downtown. The area around Los Gatos Boulevard, east of Highway 17, is much more
typically suburban than downtown, with medium-sized shopping centers clustered at
major intersections of the multilane boulevard. Although the town has generally a quiet
setting, its principal noise generators are State Route 17 and Los Gatos Boulevard. Sound
levels within one hundred and fifty feet of Los Gatos Boulevard exceed 60 db CNEL
(Community Noise Equivalent Level),[21] a generally unacceptable range for residential
living. Vasona Park, a county park, and neighboring Oak Meadow Park, which belongs to
the town, are located in what is roughly the geographic middle of the town, bordered on
the south by Blossom Hill Road, on the east by Highway 17, on the west by University
Avenue, and reaching at the north end not quite all the way to Lark Avenue. Located in
the parks is the popular William "Billy" Jones Wildcat Railroad. In Vasona Park is the trail to
Prune Ridge. Los Gatos Creek begins in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of the town and
runs through the town parallel to Highway 17 all the way through neighboring Campbell
and San Jose to the Guadalupe River, which flows into San Francisco Bay. A walking,
jogging, and biking trail called the Los Gatos Creek Trail runs alongside much of the creek
from Lexington Dam through Vasona Park and Campbell to Meridian Avenue in San Jose.
In Los Gatos, the trail passes the 1854 Forbes Mill.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 11.2 square
miles (29 km2). 11.1 square miles (29 km2) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) of it
(0.71%) is water.
Hiking in the Los Gatos Creek Trail
Los Gatos is surrounded by several mountain bike trails. Cyclists can leave from downtown
on a 20-mile (32 km) loop through the Santa Cruz Mountains. From downtown, El Sereno
mountain stands to the southwest; El Sombroso stands to the southeast. The El Sereno
Open Space Preserve and the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve open the top and upper
flanks of each of these mountains to hiking and cycling.
Though the official total area of the town is 11.2 square miles, approximately 100 square
miles of the surrounding Los Gatos Mountains (within the Santa Cruz Mountains range),
has a Los Gatos address and uses the 95033 zip code (primarily) for U.S. Postal Service mail
delivery (among other purposes).
Climate
Los Gatos experiences nearly the same temperatures as San Jose, just slightly warmer and
with more rain. Los Gatos has a Mediterranean climate like much of California. January's
average high is 63 °F (17 °C) and the low is 43 °F (6 °C) while July's average high is 86 °F
(30 °C) and low is 57 °F (14 °C). Los Gatos has a Zone 10 hardiness zone. Daytime high
temperatures very rarely stay below 50 °F (10 °C). Los Gatos rarely gets a hard frost. Los
Gatos gets the slight winter chill that is needed to grow grapes and have vineyards. Types
of bananas that ripen within three months grow well during the summer.
The record high temperature was 114 °F (46 °C) on June 14, 1961, and the record low
temperature was 16 °F (-9 °C) on December 22, 1990. There are an average of 27.0 days
annually with highs of 90 °F (32 °C) or higher and an average of 5.0 days annually with
lows of 32 °F (0 °C) or lower. Rainfall averages 21.2 inches annually and falls on an
average of 59 days annually. The wettest year was 1909 with 51.77 inches and the driest
year was 2007 with 9.47 inches (241 mm). The most rainfall in one month was 26.56 inches
in December 1955 and the most rainfall in 24 hours was 8.48 inches on December 23, 1955.
Although snow sometimes falls in the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains, it is very rare in Los
Gatos. The most snow on record was 2.0 inches in February 1976.[22] Los Gatos averages
330 sunny days per year.[23]
