Barron Creek
Barron Creek is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. , accessed November 13, 2011〕 northward-flowing stream originating in the lower foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains in Los Altos Hills in Santa Clara County, California, United States. It courses northerly through the cities of Los Altos Hills, Los Altos, and Palo Alto, before joining Adobe Creek just south of U.S. Highway 101. As Adobe Creek its waters continue northwards to southwest San Francisco Bay after traversing Highway 101 and the Palo Alto Flood Basin.
==History==
In 1844 Rancho La Purisima Concepcion was sold to Juana Briones de Miranda, whose family members had accompanied both the Gaspar de Portolà and the Juan Bautista de Anza Expeditions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Plat of the Rancho La Purisima Concepcion, finally confirmed to Juana Briones : Santa Clara Co., Calif. / As located by the U.S. Surveyor General )〕 Her uniquely constructed wood-framed, rammed-earth and adobe brick house, believed to have been built by American desertee sailors, is located at 4155 Old Adobe Road on the border between Palo Alto and Los Altos Hills, and is marked by a historical marker at the corner of Old Adobe Road and Old Trace Lane. Designated a California State Historical Landmark in 1954, the 160-year-old Juana Briones home was scheduled for demolition in 2007 because of damage to it by the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. In 2009, it still stands and has been recently documented with a Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blogs.nationaltrust.org/preservationnation/?p=3663#comment-12002 )〕
After 1831, Mexican rancho owners would logically erect their dwellings on or very near creeks. Locally, Juanita Briones’ adobe was near Barron Creek.
In 1853, Elisha Crosby bought a 250-acre parcel of Rancho Santa Rita, really Rancho Rincon de San Francisquito, from the Robles family in 1853 and named it Mayfield Farm. This would later become Barron Park after Edward Barron.
