Mountain View is a city in Santa Clara County, California, within the San Francisco Bay Area, named for its views of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The southwest shore of San Francisco Bay was settled by European-Americans in 1852 as a stagecoach station, and the settlement later became a shipping point for fruit and grain. At the 2020 census the population was 82,376. The city was central to the early growth of Silicon Valley: in 1956 William Shockley established Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory here, the first company to develop silicon semiconductor devices in the valley. Mountain View now houses the headquarters of some of the largest technology companies in the world, including Google and Alphabet Inc. and Intuit, as well as the NASA Ames Research Center, and it has hosted former or current headquarters of Symantec, LinkedIn, Samsung, Quora and Synopsys.
