• San Bruno early development (smdailyjournal.com) — San Bruno’s early neighborhoods grew from the breakup of the old Rancho Buri Buri estate, as heirs sold off land to new arrivals in the 1850s. This piece traces how “San Bruno Park Addition” was created, how the trolley spurred development, and why many downtown streets are named after early investors and regional power players.
