Mountain View Oral History Project

In 1854, my newly formed town was named Mountain View for its unforgettable views of the serene Santa Cruz Mountains. A century later, Mountain View Historical Association formed to preserve and share the city's history. In this anniversary year of 2024, I decided to contribute to that effort by collecting oral histories of our diverse longtime residents and documenting their unique perspectives on the changes and community building in our city.

Have you lived in Mountain View for 20+ years and are interested in adding your story?
