[Mayfield, California]: Mayfield News, 1910. Wraps. Before there was Palo Alto, there was Mayfield. Founded in the 1850s, it was one of several small communities interspersed among the rural farmland of the 19th century San Francisco Peninsula. When Leland and Jane Stanford were looking for a town to support their new university, they turned to Mayfield. There was just one condition: Mayfield would have to go dry, ending the sale of liquor within the community. Mayfield stayed true to its blue collar roots, choosing booze over books. Meanwhile, nearby Palo Alto emerged as leading college town and in 1925, the residents voted to merge with their neighbors to the north. Little remains of Mayfield, which is now known as South Palo Alto. 30 p. Original printed paper wrappers (3 ¾” x 6”), bound with two staples. A bit of mild wear; else very good. Scarce, OCLC locates no copies. Very good. Item #70562
