Welcome to Mountain View

Once an agricultural center covered in orchards and vineyards stretching over 12 square miles, Mountain View is now a high-tech hub and multicultural community that retains quiet neighborhoods and a historic downtown.

The city takes pride in being a "Community for All." With an estimated population of 86,513, Mountain View is located in Silicon Valley between the Santa Cruz Mountains and San Francisco Bay.
