| Middlefield Road was called El Camino de en Medio by the early Spanish settlers. In late 1851 "Steinberger's Fence" was built along the northeast side of the road in what is today Menlo Park and Atherton to border the edge of the marshland. By 1853, this fence was referred to as the Middle Field Fence and the road assumed that name as well. In 1878 the State Legislature made the designation official. | ||||||

| Miramonte Avenue is part of the 1923 Southgate Subdivision. There are two possible origins for the name. It might honor the early California Miramontez/Miramontes family. Maria Luisa Soto de Copinger Greer's daughter Manuela Copinger married Antonio Miramontez. Or, it could simply be a derivation of the Spanish for "look at the hill", "mira monte". | ||||||
