The San Mateo County Historical Association started in 1935. Dr Frank
Stanger, the first executive director, goals were preserving the county’s
historical sites, developing an archive for the county’s history and
creating a museum dedicated to preserving reminders of the county’s
past. The original goals of the Historical Association have expanded to
include providing meaningful learning experiences for the county’s
residents and guests with special attention devoted to children’s
programs.
