Hillsborough Concours D’Elegance – Sunday May 4th, 2008
Hello Again,
I just wanted to let everyone know that one of my favorite events on the peninsula is occurring very soon. On Sunday May 4th, 2008 from 10am-4pm is the 2008 Hillsborough Concours D’Elegance Italiano. The Hillsborough Concours D’Elegance is a classic car show that is put on by the Hillsborough School Foundation. Hillsborough’s Concours D’ Elegance is much like the famous Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance. However, Hillsborough adds more of a family twist to the event by adding carnival style games, bounce houses, police demonstrations, and much more. This year the event will have a Italian influence featuring many historic automobiles with Italian heritage. The event takes place on the lawns of Crocker Middle School located at 2600 Ralston Avenue in Hillsborough,CA. Come early, parking can get tricky!

The Brief History Of Burlingame
The Gold Rush and Statehood shortly thereafter in 1850, brought a booming economy to San Francisco. Wealthy San Franciscans built country homes in the area: William Davis, Merry Howard and his wife Agnes Poett, William Ralston, founder of Bank of California.
Anson Burlingame, Lincoln’s first ambassador to China, visited Ralston’s “Belmont” estate and was enchanted with the area. He purchased 1,000 acres of what are now Burlingame and Hillsborough. His desire was to build an “ideal community.”
The Burlingame Railroad station, which housed the first post office, was built in 1894.
Other highlights include: construction of the mansions of the era: Uplands (now Crystal Springs Uplands School; Carolands (also known as Chateau Remillard) and the Newhall home.
In 1908, the Women’s Club pushed for incorporation of the city. In 1910, to avoid annexation, Hillsborough incorporated. By 1920, the population was 4,000.
