Incorporation: November 16, 1956. Council: Five district seats. Meeting landmark: Independence Hall. Woodside is an incorporated Town in San Mateo County with five district-elected Council members. Lumber roads and the Woodside Store. The Town’s history follows the redwood lumber trade and the road opened by Dr. Robert Tripp and M. A. Parkhurst to the tidewater at Redwood Creek. By 1855, the area had at least eight sawmills and a shingle mill. Their Woodside Store on Kings Mountain Road is preserved as a San Mateo County museum. Later farms, ranches, vineyards and country estates gradually replaced the sawmills, leaving a different landscape around the historic settlement. Independence Hall and incorporation. Independence Hall was built in 1884 and moved several times before its restoration and final relocation beside Town Hall in 1991. The Town uses the hall for meetings and events. Residents voted to incorporate in October 1956, and Woodside incorporated on November 16. The Town’s history explains that local road maintenance, planning and zoning were central to that decision. Five districts and an annual Mayor. Woodside’s five Council members are elected by district to staggered four-year terms. Council selects one member as Mayor for one year; the Mayor presides at meetings and represents the Town on ceremonial occasions. The current 2026 election page identifies Districts 2 and 3 for four-year terms ending in 2030. Use the applicable cycle’s Clerk notice to confirm forms and nomination requirements. Agendas, records and a useful project brief. The Council page links agendas and approved minutes and identifies Independence Hall as the regular meeting location. It explains the Council’s budget, policy and advisory-appointment responsibilities, with Clerk contact information and disclosure resources. For a local information booklet or website, keep meeting links and museum information separate from event details. LCP can coordinate those pages with printed programs and signs using one final copy sheet, cleared photographs and confirmed delivery information.
