Hillsborough’s estate-era history and tree-covered residential setting offer a distinctive local story. LCP brings your cleared photographs and final copy together across community print pieces, signs, mail and web. Municipality: Town of Hillsborough · San Mateo County. Incorporated: May 5, 1910. Council: Five members elected at large; four-year terms. Mayor and Vice Mayor: Selected by the Council. Hillsborough incorporated on May 5, 1910. The Town’s historical account follows Rancho San Mateo, the Howard estate and later subdivisions, while the Clerk maintains Council records, the municipal code and Town election resources. Rancho San Mateo and the estate landscape. The Town’s history traces William Davis Merry Howard’s 1846 purchase of Rancho San Mateo and the El Cerrito estate. Later estate subdivisions and new country homes shaped the residential community. Hillsborough incorporated in 1910 as neighboring San Mateo and Burlingame grew. Its history describes the subsequent subdivision of large estates, often retaining an original house and surrounding acreage. Residential character and municipal code. The Town’s historical account describes a long-running effort to preserve its residential character and notes the adoption of a half-acre minimum lot size in 1953. For current property rules, use the municipal code maintained through the Clerk rather than relying on a historical summary. Heritage projects can pair the Town’s chronology with your cleared building and streetscape photographs. At-large Council and the Clerk’s public record. Hillsborough’s five Councilmembers are elected at large on a nonpartisan basis for four-year terms. The Council selects its Mayor and Vice Mayor; the Clerk’s page describes a maximum of two one-year terms for those roles.

The office also handles fundraising-event permits. County Elections provides countywide voting services. A Hillsborough project with a clear brief.
