CUPERTINO Neighborhood Information

Cupertino is a suburban city in Santa Clara County, California, U.S., on the western edge of the Santa Clara Valley with portions extending into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The population was 50,546 at the time of the 2000 census. The town has given its name to the Cupertino effect. 

Cupertino in the 1800s was a small rural village at the crossroads of Stevens Creek Rd. and Saratoga-Mountain View Rd (later Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd, and then renamed to De Anza Blvd within Cupertino limits). Back then, it was known as the West Side and was part of Fremont Township. The primary economic activity was fruit agriculture. Almost all of the land within Cupertino's present-day boundaries were covered by prune, plum, apricot, and cherry orchards. A winery on Montebello Ridge overlooking the Cupertino valley region was also operating by the late 1800s

Like most cities in the western Santa Clara Valley, Cupertino was originally developed in the early 20th century. Since the 1980s, Cupertino's demographics have gradually shifted. One sign of the demographic shift is the rise of Chinese-oriented shopping centers in Cupertino. The largest one is the Cupertino Village complex north of Vallco Fashion Park. This center, which replaced the unsuccessful Vallco Village project, has a 99 Ranch Market as its anchor. Other Asian-themed shopping centers are also centered around grocery supermarkets, such as Marina Food Market anchoring the Marina Square on Stevens Creek Blvd, and Kumud Groceries on De Anza Blvd. Some non-Asian themed large chain stores (Whole Foods, Target, Safeway, Lucky Stores, Sears) also operate in Cupertino.
