Introduction
This is the working website for the Menlo Park Historical Association (MPHA). See [Note a] at bottom. MPHA was organized in 1971 and is dedicated to collecting, researching, and preserving the documentation which is related to the history of the City, the area of the City, and the history of the area before its current incorporation (1927). You can help us in this effort by becoming a member. Like us on Facebook: //MenloParkHistoricalAssociation
