About Burlingame
San Mateo County, California, home to the city of Burlingame. On the San Francisco Peninsula, a lengthy section of the San Francisco Bay Area shoreline is found here.
Burlingame was named after ambassador Anson Burlingame and is known for its many eucalyptus trees, high quality of life, walkable downtown, and public education system. As of the 2020 census, the city has a population of 31,386.
Burlingame was established on land that had belonged to William Davis Merry Howard, a San Francisco industrialist. Having planted numerous eucalyptus trees on his land, Howard decided to relocate to a more rural location.
He sold it to renowned banker William C. Ralston, who died in 1856 and left the estate to his children. As a tribute to his friend and US Ambassador to China, Anson Burlingame, Ralston gave the property the name "Burlingame" in 1868.
After the earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco, citizens anxious to construct new homes purchased hundreds of Burlingame lots, and the city of Burlingame was established in 1908. Burlingame's Easton Addition neighborhood was created in 1910 when the town of Easton was incorporated into the city.
Since Burlingame has about 18,000 public trees, it has been dubbed the "City of Trees." An ordinance prohibiting "tree cutting, harm, or destruction" was passed by the Burlingame Board of Trustees in 1908. In addition, the city is home to a number of parks and eucalyptus groves.
This year marked the 150th anniversary of the momentous Burlingame Treaty between the United States and China, and a new bust of envoy Anson Burlingame was unveiled at the Burlingame Public Library.
