Lomita Park, California
Unincorporated community in California, United States
About
Lomita Park, California is a small unincorporated community adjacent to San Bruno in San Mateo County, just west of the San Francisco International Airport. It is roughly bounded by San Felipe Avenue, El Camino Real, San Juan Avenue, and the Southern Pacific railroad tracks.
The Southern Pacific Railroad acquired the original San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, which was built in the 1860s. Southern Pacific operated both passenger and freight trains along the route. An interurban railroad ran parallel to the Southern Pacific, from San Francisco to San Mateo. Lomita Park's school children used the interurban trains to go to high school, first at San Mateo High School (from 1902 to 1923) and then at Burlingame High School (from 1923 to 1950). The completion of Capuchino High School in September 1950 enabled Lomita Park children to walk to school.
