History

Burlingame Village is one of two neighborhoods (the other is Ray Park) that were developed during and immediately after World War II on the former Darius Ogden Mills Estate. After representatives of the Mills Estate sold their private airstrip to the city of San Francisco, The Village became home to many persons employed at the rapidly expanding San Francisco airport. The area was originally called “Village Park” because the developers hoped the layout, with its winding curvy streets and cul-de-sacs, would invoke a park-like atmosphere. In keeping with the park-like ambience, The Village has only two thoroughfares that enter onto El Camino Real. This neighborhood also includes North Burlingame’s first park, a neighborhood gem that is aptly named “Village Park”.
