2 37.45°, -122.13° S
About location

Tucked along the western edge of San Francisco Bay, East Palo Alto is a place whose character is shaped by the US 101 corridor and the flat Bay Area lowlands. Incorporated in 1983, it occupies a compact municipality between Palo Alto and Menlo Park, amid one of Silicon Valley’s most intensely developed urban regions. University Avenue is a principal local route, running from the freeway through the city toward the bay. East Palo Alto is distinct from neighboring Palo Alto: its residential blocks, schools, local businesses and community services form an independent city, while US 101 carries regional traffic past its western side. The shoreline belongs to the broad tidal margin of San Francisco Bay, a defining geographic presence across the Peninsula.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
