Overview of San Carlos
San Carlos is located in the very heart of San Mateo County and serves as home to just over 30,700 residents.
A Native American group called the Ohlones used to live in the area until the Spanish arrived to the shores of San Francisco Bay starting in the 16th century. According to popular legend, the city derives its name from a Spanish ship (the San Carlos), King Charles III of Spain himself, or the Feast of St. Charles.
Today, San Carlos is a wonderful suburban city with a bustling downtown area that serves as home to locally-owned boutiques, restaurants, and shops. The city regularly organizes community events throughout the year. This includes the San Carlos Art & Wine Faire, which is a fun-filled, outdoor family event that highlights the city’s art, food, and microbrewery scene.
