==History==
The creek and city name, the latter first known as Red Woods City (1854), was named because of the nearby Coast Redwood (''Sequoia sempervirens'') forest and lumbering industry. In 1851, a deep-water channel that ran inland to what is now Redwood City was discovered off of San Francisco Bay. Named Redwood Creek, this channel was used by the lumber companies to ship wood and logs from the redwood forests in the peninsula hills to San Francisco. A shipbuilding industry emerged, the first schooner was built in 1851 by G.M. Burnham and appropriately named "Redwood." Shipbuilding remained an active industry until the last wooden ship built in Redwood City, called the "Perseverance," was launched in 1883.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=City of Redwood City )〕
