Histori
Documented by the Spanish invaders as part of Rancho de las Pulgas (literally "Flea Farm") and Rancho San Mateo, the earliest history was held in the archives of Mission Dolores. In 1789, Spanish missionaries have named the Native American village along Laurel Creek as Los Laureles or Laurels (Mission Dolores, 1789). At the time of Mexican Independence, there were 30 native Californians in San Mateo, most likely from the Salson tribal.
Captain Fredrick W. Beechey in 1827 traveled with the hills to their right, known in that part as the Sierra del Sur, beginning to approach the road, passing through a small eminence, open over "the broad pasture country, with a group a smooth oak tree that is free from the forest... It's very similar to a noble park: herds of flocks and horses grazing in lush meadows, and many deer, surprised at the approach of strangers, going out for protection between hills... it's called San Matheo, and belongs to the San Francisco mission. "A 1835 sketch of Rancho refers to the river as the Arroyo de Los Laureles. In the 21st century, most of the accomplishments were lost, removed for development.
In 1810 Coyote Point was a feature recorded earlier than San Mateo. Beginning in the 1850s, some wealthy San Francis began to build summer or permanent houses on the lighter central peninsula.

The Howard Estate was built in 1859 on a hill accessed by Crystal Springs Road. The Parrott Estate was founded in 1860 in the same area, giving rise to two conflicting names for hills, Howard Hill and Parrot Hill. After the use of cars changed the traffic pattern, the historical name is not commonly applied to the hill (Brown, 1975). The Borel plantation was developed near Borel Creek in 1874. It has been redeveloped since the late 20th century for use as an office and modern shop. The property is managed and owned by Borel Place Associates and Borel Estate Company.
