Milpitas

Milpitas lies along the northern Santa Clara Valley, where the Diablo Range rises east of a broad urban plain. Positioned between San Jose and the southern edge of San Francisco Bay, it has evolved from an agricultural community of orchards and ranches into a Silicon Valley city with technology and logistics activity. Its origins reach back to Rancho Milpitas, a Mexican-era land grant associated with José María Alviso. The Great Mall occupies the site of a former Ford assembly plant, recalling the manufacturing era that preceded the region’s high-tech economy. Nearby foothill trails and open spaces connect the city to the valley’s grassland margins. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Milpitas and Santa Clara Valley.
