San Bruno, California

The city is located between South San Francisco and Millbrae, adjacent to San Francisco International Airport to the east and Golden Gate National Cemetery to the northwest. It is approximately {{convert|12|mi|km}} south of Downtown San Francisco.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|5.5|sqmi|km2}}, all of it land. The city spreads from the mostly flat lowlands near San Francisco Bay into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, which rise to more than {{convert|600|ft|m}} above sea level in Crestmoor and more than {{convert|700|ft|m}} above sea level in Portola Highlands. San Bruno City Hall sits at an official elevation of {{convert|41|ft|m}} above sea level.

Portions of Mills Park, Crestmoor, and Rollingwood are very hilly, featuring canyons and ravines. Creeks, many of them now in culverts, flow from springs in the hills toward San Francisco Bay. Just west of Skyline Boulevard and outside of city limits is San Andreas Lake, which got its name from the San Andreas Fault. The lake is one of several reservoirs used by the San Francisco Water Department, providing water to San Francisco and several communities in San Mateo County, including San Bruno west of I-280.

San Bruno has a mild Mediterranean climate characterized by mild to warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. San Bruno has much milder temperatures than most of the state. Owing to its relatively mild temperatures, the city's climate closely resembles that of an oceanic climate. Since 1927, the National Weather Service (formerly the U.S. Weather Bureau) has maintained a weather station at the nearby San Francisco International Airport (formerly Mills Field). According to the official records, January is the coldest month with an average high of {{convert|55.9|F|C|abbr=on}} and an average low of {{convert|42.9|F|C|abbr=on}}. Freezing temperatures occur on an average of only 1.3 days annually. The coldest winter temperature on record was {{convert|20|°F}} on December 11, 1932, a day on which {{convert|1|in|cm}} of snow also fell. A week-long cold spell in December 1972 caused hard freezes throughout the area, damaging trees and plants and causing some water pipes to break; the temperature dropped as low as {{convert|24|°F}} at the airport and {{convert|20|°F}} in Crestmoor, which also reported snow flurries several times that week. There was {{convert|1.5|in|cm}} of snow at the airport on January 21, 1962, with several inches falling in the hills.

September is the warmest month with an average high of {{convert|72.7|°F}} and an average low of {{convert|55.1|°F}}. Temperatures exceed {{convert|90|°F}} on an average of 4.0 days annually. Fog and low overcast are common during the night and morning hours in the summer months, which are generally very dry except for occasional light drizzle from the fog. On rare occasions moisture moving up from tropical storms has produced thunderstorms or showers in the summer. Gusty westerly winds are also common in the afternoon during the summer. The highest summer temperature was {{convert|106|°F}} on June 14, 1961, breaking a record of {{convert|104|°F}} set in June 1960. A high of {{convert|105|°F}} was recorded on July 17, 1988, and a high of {{convert|104|°F}} was recorded on September 1, 2017. Until August 1, 1993, it had never reached {{convert|100|°F}} in August, which is one of the foggier months in the area. Due to thermal inversions, summer temperatures in the higher hills are often much higher than at the airport.

Thunderstorms occur several times a year, mostly during the winter months, but are usually quite brief. Total annual precipitation, most of which falls from November to April, ranges from {{convert|20.11|in|mm}} at the nearby National Weather Service station at San Francisco International Airport to over {{convert|32|in|mm}} in the higher hills (according to observations by Gayle Rucker for the Army Corps of Engineers and Robert E. Nylund for the U.S. Geological Survey from 1962 to 1985). Nylund also took temperature observations for several years and published weekly weather reports in the San Bruno Herald from 1966 to 1969, which were included in official reports for the Golden Gate National Cemetery. The annual average days with measurable precipitation is 65.2 days. The most rainfall in a month at the airport was {{convert|13.64|in|mm}} in February 1998, and the most rainfall in 24 hours was {{convert|5.59|in|mm}} on January 4, 1982. Nylund reported {{convert|6.09|in|mm}} in Crestmoor during a 24-hour period in January 1967. Winter storms are often accompanied by strong southerly winds.http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?ca7769; http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/clilcd.pl?ca23234

San Bruno City Park, bordered by Crystal Springs Avenue and El Crystal School, is the largest municipal park. It offers shaded walkways and hiking trails, picnic tables, a playground, a small ballpark, a municipal swimming pool, and a recreation center that includes an indoor basketball court once used for training by the San Francisco Warriors basketball team.{{cite web |url=https://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/City-Park-3 |title=San Bruno City Park |website=City of San Bruno |access-date=August 10, 2023}} There are smaller municipal parks in other parts of the city.

The park is administered by the San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Department, which charges a $6 entry fee for vehicles from the entrance off Crystal Springs Road; there are two pedestrian entrances, one from San Bruno City Park and the other from Helen Drive.

The city is served by the San Bruno Park School District which operates five elementary schools, and one intermediate school; in 1970, the school district had an enrollment of 4,829, and {{As of|2013|lc=y}} was closer to 2,700.{{cite news |title=John Horgan: San Bruno's lack of kids is taking its toll |author=John Horgan |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/john-horgan/ci_22625924/john-horgan-san-brunos-lack-kids-is-taking |newspaper=San Mateo County Times |date=February 19, 2013 |access-date=March 18, 2013}} San Mateo Union High School District also serves the city, and most students who attend secondary public education attend Capuchino High School, the only high school in the community after Crestmoor High School was closed in 1980.

San Bruno was the location of the Ohlone village Urebure. It was explored in November 1769 by a Spanish expedition led by Gaspar de Portolà. Later, more extensive explorations by Bruno de Heceta resulted in the naming of San Bruno Creek after St. Bruno of Cologne, the founder of a medieval monastic order. This creek apparently later gave its name to the community.

With the establishment of the San Francisco de Asís (St. Francis of Assisi) mission, much of the area became pasture for the mission livestock. Following the decline of the missions, the area became part of Rancho Buri Buri granted to José de la Cruz Sánchez, the eleventh Alcalde (mayor) of San Francisco. After Jose Antonio Sanchez died, his heirs divided the Rancho and sold it off.{{cite news |title=San Bruno early development |author=Darold Fredricks |url=http://www.smdailyjournal.com/article_preview.php?id=1751625&title=San%20Bruno%20early%20development |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924102856/http://www.smdailyjournal.com/article_preview.php?id=1751625&title=San%20Bruno%20early%20development |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |newspaper=San Mateo Daily Journal |date=July 23, 2012 |access-date=August 6, 2012 }} Dairy farms later became common in much of the area.

The city began as Clarks's Station,Waterman L. Ormsby, Lyle H. Wright, Josephine M. Bynum, The Butterfield Overland Mail: Only Through Passenger on the First Westbound Stage. Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, 2007. pp.92-93. a stop on the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach route, utilizing an inn built in 1849, which was initially called Thorp's Place and later Uncle Tom's Cabin or 14 Mile House.{{cite book|author=Darold Fredricks|title=San Bruno|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ch4oE5ZmxS4C|year=2003|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|location=San Francisco|isbn=978-0-7385-2859-5|pages=4, 11}} The inn was demolished in 1949 and replaced with a Lucky's supermarket (now a Walgreens drugstore, on the corner of El Camino Real and Crystal Springs Avenue). Gus Jenevein (for whom Jenevein Avenue was named) built another landmark called San Bruno House, which burned several times and was not rebuilt after the third fire. A few homes and farms were developed in the area. The railroad between San Francisco and San Jose built a train station at San Bruno in the 1860s. The railroad eventually became part of the Southern Pacific system, which ran both passenger and freight trains on the line. Today it is known as Caltrain.

A U.S. Post Office was first established at San Bruno in 1875. Postal services were discontinued for several months in both 1890 and 1891, then from 1893 to 1898. There has been a post office in San Bruno continuously since 1898. The present post office is located near the Tanforan Shopping Center.{{cite book|author=David L.

Real growth and development began after the 1906 earthquake and fire. The city's first public school was completed in late 1906. With the construction of Edgemont Elementary School in 1910, all classes were moved there and the original school building became a public facility named Green Hall. Another school, North Brae Elementary School, opened in 1912; among its earliest students was future actor Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. Paving of California's first state highway, El Camino Real, began in 1912 in front of San Bruno's Uncle Tom's Cabin; the highway is now designated as State Route 82. The adjoining San Francisco International Airport opened in early 1927 and included a Weather Bureau station, now operated by the National Weather Service. Charles Lindbergh was an early visitor to the airport, during his national tour following his successful transatlantic flight; his airplane (Spirit of St. Louis) became stuck in the mud.

On January 18, 1911, aviator Eugene Ely made naval aviation history when he took off from Tanforan Racetrack and made a successful landing on the armored cruiser {{USS|Pennsylvania|ACR-4|6}} anchored in San Francisco Bay.{{cite web|url=http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/ev-1910s/ev-1911/ely-pa.htm |title=Eugene Ely's Flight to USS Pennsylvania, 18 January 1911 – Narrative and Special Image Selection |publisher=History.navy.mil |access-date=September 19, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130827151232/http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/ev-1910s/ev-1911/ely-pa.htm|archive-date=August 27, 2013}} This marked the first successful shipboard aircraft landing.{{cite web|url=http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/pers-us/uspers-e/eb-ely.htm |title=Eugene B.

Following a campaign by the local newspaper, the San Bruno Herald, the community was incorporated in 1914, mainly so the streets could be paved. Green Hall became the first city hall. San Bruno grew rapidly, passing 1,500 residents by 1920 and 3,610 residents in 1930. Additional schools, including New Edgemont (later renamed Decima Allen) and Crystal Springs, were built during the 1940s.

In 1930, the El Camino Theater opened at the corner of El Camino Real and San Mateo Avenue. The popular theater, wired for sound, replaced the earlier Melody Theater, which had presented silent films. The El Camino showed double features, cartoons, short comedies, adventure serials, and newsreels during its history, including Saturday matinees and summer Wednesday matinees for children. Normally, films changed every week, but in 1958 Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments ran for two weeks to packed audiences. The theater closed in the early 1970s when a four-screen movie theater opened in the Tanforan shopping center. The El Camino Theater building was remodeled, but later demolished. The lot is now home to mixed-use apartment and retail space.{{cite web |url=http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/17052 |title=El Camino Theatre |author=Bryan Krefft |publisher=Cinema Treasures, LLC |access-date=April 7, 2013}} A larger, multi-screen complex was later built north of Tanforan, but it has been replaced by an even larger complex, Century at Tanforan, in the remodeled shopping center.[http://movies.eventful.com/theaters-showtimes/century-at-tanforan-/T0-001-000004920-2 Century at Tanforan and XD Showtimes & Tickets - 94066 Movie Theaters].

In 1939, the War Department created the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno as space was starting to run out for veterans to be buried at the Presidio of San Francisco. In 1942, after the start of World War II, the local racetrack became the Tanforan Assembly Center, a temporary detention site for Japanese Americans evicted from the West Coast under Executive Order 9066.Kawahara, Lewis.

Following World War II, there was continued growth and new subdivisions were built in Mills Park, Rollingwood, and Crestmoor. In 1947, the Bayshore Freeway (U.S. Route 101) was opened from South San Francisco to Redwood City and included an interchange at San Bruno.

Prior to 1950, San Bruno's high school students attended San Mateo High School (opened in 1902) and then Burlingame High School (opened in 1923), traveling to and from school on the streetcars that ran next to the Southern Pacific railroad. Finally, on September 11, 1950, Capuchino High School opened in San Bruno. After years of using Green Hall as a multi-purpose building, the city dedicated a library and city hall in 1954. That same year saw the dedication of the current central terminal at the airport, part of a major expansion program. A central fire station was later built next to the city hall; an additional station was built in Crestmoor.

Actress and businesswoman Suzanne Somers was born in San Bruno in 1946. She attended local schools and graduated from Capuchino High School in June 1964.

In 1953, San Bruno annexed the adjoining unincorporated community of Lomita Park, bounded by San Felipe Avenue, El Camino Real, San Juan Avenue, and the railroad tracks.{{cite court |litigants=People v. City of San Bruno |date=1954 |url=http://ca.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19540428_0040771.CA.htm/qx }} Until the annexation, Lomita Park had its own Southern Pacific train station and some community services.

Parkside Intermediate School was opened in 1954, followed by additional elementary schools: Rollingwood, Crestmoor, John Muir, and Carl Sandburg. A second intermediate school, Engvall, was built in Crestmoor Canyon, only to be closed, along with North Brae and Sandburg, when enrollment fell. These were all part of the San Bruno Park School District. Students in northwestern San Bruno were included in the Laguna Salada district. Highlands Christian School, a private school, is also located in San Bruno. Founded in 1966, Highlands Christian School is an interdenominational school, and offers preschool through college preparatory school instruction.

San Bruno considered new annexations in the mid-1950s that would have extended the city limits to the Pacific Ocean. The unincorporated communities west of San Bruno were against annexation, and collectively incorporated as the city of Pacifica in 1957.

On March 22, 1957, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake was centered in the area of the city.{{cite book|title=Geological Survey Professional Paper|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XicsAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA4-PA13|publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office|page=4|year=1982}} It inflicted minor damage throughout the city.

Crestmoor High School opened in September 1962, but was closed in June 1980 due to a decline in school enrollment. The city has a two-year community college, Skyline College.

A major landmark in San Bruno for many years was Tanforan Racetrack, which opened in 1899. Such famous racehorses as Seabiscuit and Citation raced there. Famed Hollywood director Frank Capra filmed scenes for two of his films, Broadway Bill and Riding High, at the racetrack. For six months in 1942, it served as one of the main Bay Area centers for those forced into Japanese American internment, processing about 8,000 Japanese before they were sent out to larger facilities in the desert of Utah and Manzanar in Owens Valley.{{cite book|author=Gary Y.

The city was the site of the crash of Flying Tiger Line Flight 282 on December 23, 1964.

During the late 1960s, the I-280 (Junipero Serra Freeway), followed by I-380, was built through San Bruno. The San Bruno Planning Commission (then chaired by Peter Weinberger, brother of Caspar Weinberger) reviewed and approved plans for two major shopping centers, Bayhill (located on the old U.S. Navy property between San Bruno Avenue and Sneath Lane) and Tanforan. With final approval from the San Bruno City Council, construction proceeded on these major retail developments. Prior to these developments, most of the city's retail businesses were located on San Mateo Avenue and El Camino Real.

San Bruno is one of two cities in the Bay Area that manages its own cable TV and internet system.

The October 17, 1989, Loma Prieta earthquake (6.9 magnitude) caused some damage in the city. The U.S. Postal Service's Western Regional headquarters, which was then the tallest building in San Bruno, had to be demolished due to severe structural damage.
