History of North Bayshore, Mountain View
Long before there was a Google or Microsoft, a highway 101 or Moffett Field, the area now known as North Bayshore was one of the finest residential boroughs in Mountain View, settled by the city’s early large property owners whose surnames are recorded for posterity among Mountain View’s street names.
Conrad Stierlin, a Swiss rancher and one of these early landowners, lived in the southeastern tip of the city from 1852 to 1964. Years later, what was the site of the Stierlin residence and farm, near Shoreline Boulevard and La Avenida, became a portion of Microsoft’s campus. Similarly, the Plymouth Street home of James Huff, another well-known early resident, eventually became part of Google’s campus headquarters.
