Welcome to Burlingame, California.
Burlingame is a city in San Mateo County, California. It is located on the San Francisco Peninsula and has a significant shoreline on San Francisco Bay. The city is named after diplomat Anson Burlingame.
Burlingame Avenue, Burlingame
It is renowned for many surviving examples of Victorian architecture and its high residential quality of life. Burlingame was settled by wealthy San Franciscans looking for a better climate for their second homes, but industrial growth was spurred in the 1960s and 1970s by proximity to the San Francisco International Airport, generating airline support services growth near the U.S. Route 101 corridor.
Burlingame is known as the 'City of Trees' due to the number of trees within the city (18,000 public trees). Most residential properties have trees owned and protected by the city on their public right of way. In addition the city has many parks and Eucalyptus groves that add to the overall tree numbers. The Eucalyptus groves occur to the west of the city on Interstate 280 and alongside many city streets, like California Drive, El Camino Real, and other smaller local streets. Washington Park with Burlingame Avenue at its eastern edge, Burlingame High School at its western edge, and the Caltrain line at its southern edge is the oldest park in Burlingame. It was originally part of the Gunst Estate, and some of the existing large trees within the park were part of this estate.

Local daily news in Burlingame:
Bike to Work Day accident kills United Airlines worker
Judy Castillo sat at her desk Thursday morning chatting with her boss about Bike to Work Day. She pointed to a newspaper article about a man who rode 10 miles to work each day, and joked that the paper should have profiled her husband, who rides his bike 22 miles to work each day. He didn't really like to drive very much anyway, and his neighbor had just given him a bike, so he decided to ride his bike to work that week," she said. "Then he just got into it and wouldn't give it up."
New Coach sports Hillsborough/Burlingame Roots
Peter Diepenbrock didn't have a whole lot more to accomplish as a high school coach. He grew up in Hillsborough and played high school basketball at Burlingame for Frank Firpo, graduating in 1982. He played at Menlo Junior College for Bud Presley and Bob Williams before transferring to UCLA, where he got his degree in kinesiology. Photo credit: Laffy4k
Peninsula traffic woes jump, still no comparison to East Bay
For the Peninsula, the bad news from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's new congestion study is that San Mateo County saw the biggest one-year jump in gridlock of any county in the region - at 36 percent. Photo Credit: Peter Kaminski
