In 1849, Mountain View was a stagecoach stopover for persons traveling from San Jose to San Francisco. Along the present El Camino Real, was a school, hotel, blacksmith shop, store, and saloon for residents and travelers. Later in 1864, a railroad was built, making the town's center relocate to Castro Street in order to be close enough to the tracks. 

Before it was a stagecoach stopover, Mountain View had been a land belonging to the Native American Ohlone. It started as agricultural land and flourished in its produce, attracting most people to settle around the area. As the population increased, small establishments like shops, saloons, and institutions emerged. 

Today, Mountain View is one of the best places to visit in the United States, given its beautiful views. Its downtown is pedestrian-friendly and features the Computer History Museum, Mountain View Farmers Market, and the Shoreline Amphitheatre.
