About Redwood City, CA
Redwood City is the county seat of California’s San Mateo County. Its location at Redwood Creek’s mouth on the western side of San Francisco Bay is particularly notable. Founded in 1867, Redwood City is now the only operational deep-water harbor in San Francisco’s south bay. It is also home to the San Mateo County History Museum, housed in the county’s old courthouse. The Fox Theatre, located there, is a well-known and venerable playhouse that can be found on the National Register of Historic Places.
