A successful lumber and land investor, his fortune increased significantly with the California Gold Rush. In 1860, he moved his family to San Francisco. Eventually, they moved further south to a 640-acre country estate near Menlo Park. Mr. Atherton <\/span>established the first country home on the peninsula. Other prominent San Franciscan families, such as the Selbys and Stanfords, soon followed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27215\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Main-Street-Atherton-CA-1949-by-Unknown-via-Wikimedia-Commons-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"Main Street Atherton CA 1949 by Unknown via Wikimedia Commons\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Main Street Atherton, CA, 1949 by Unknown via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Originally, the area was called Fair Oaks, after a nearby railroad station that still stands. Property owners, who desired to maintain the strictly residential nature of their community, filed for incorporation in 1923. However, a Sacramento suburb already existed named Fair Oaks. So, the town became &#8220;Atherton,&#8221; to honor the first settler in the south peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a more thorough history, dig into a copy of<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/athertonhistory.com\/excerpts.asp\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under The Oaks \u2013 Two Hundred Years in Atherton<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Pamela Gullard and Nancy Lund.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Places Of Interest<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27214\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27214\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27214 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Holbrook-Palmer-Park-in-Atherton-CA-by-LPS.1-via-CC0-square-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Holbrook-Palmer Park\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holbrook-Palmer Park\u00a0by LPS.1 via CC0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ci.atherton.ca.us\/180\/Holbrook---Palmer-Park\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holbrook-Palmer Park<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is 22 tree-covered acres and the only park in Atherton.
