Redwood City

Located midway on the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood City's outstanding weather begat the motto, Climate Best by Government Test. Once a Mexican rancho, Redwood City became the port for exporting timber from the coastal mountains and later the San Mateo County seat. Through a series of contrasting vintage and modern images, this book shows the city's amazing transformation. The Veronicos and the McGoverns, who previously authored Images of America: Redwood City, tapped various public and private photo sources for this work.
