Did you ever wonder what “Milpitas” means, or the background on “Holy City”? John Casey, a Santa Clara resident, has compiled an interesting bit of local history on John’s Silicon Valley Page. It’s actually two pages of Santa Clara County place name trivia, covering some of the mountains, roads, creeks and changed names in and around San Jose. Enjoy!
