Milpitas, High-tech city in Santa Clara County, US
Located in Silicon Valley, Milpitas extends across 13.6 square miles of residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, and industrial developments at the southern end of San Francisco Bay.
The area originated from Rancho Milpitas, granted to José María Alviso in 1835, with the name derived from Spanish words meaning small cornfields.
The José María Alviso Adobe stands as a preserved structure from early California, representing the architectural methods and living conditions of Spanish colonial times.
The Great Mall of the Bay Area provides extensive shopping opportunities with over 200 stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues under one roof.
The Ford Motor Assembly Plant construction in the 1950s transformed Milpitas from an agricultural community into an industrial center within Santa Clara County.
