Known as the Crossroads of Silicon Valley, Milpitas sits at the southern end of San Francisco Bay between San Jose and Fremont. Interstates 680 and 880 run through the city, along with State Route 237. The Milpitas Transit Center brings BART, VTA light rail, and bus service together in one place.
The city is predominantly residential, with neighborhoods set between major arterials and along winding roadways. Ed R. Levin County Park offers Sandy Wool Lake, a hang-gliding launch area, and the Spring Valley Golf Course. The city's name comes from milpa, meaning little cornfields. Milpitas was incorporated in 1954. Milpitas Unified School District serves students who live within the city.
Most Milpitas homes are single-family, built largely between 1960 and 1999. Voter-approved measures keep development on the valley floor and the base of the foothills.
