History of Rengstorff, Mountain View
Like the city itself, Rengstorff’s roots are agricultural, being one of the original areas occupied by ranchers in the 19th century. Early settlers bought up huge plots of land, which they cultivated for generations before selling, not to housing developers, but to pioneering high tech companies in the 1950s and 1960s.
Recently, Rengstorff has made a move toward increasing its residential development as signified by the construction of Regis Homes’ 2004 Rock Street Cottages.
