Redwood Shores, California

Redwood Shores is an affluent waterfront community located in San Mateo County on the San Francisco Peninsula in California. It is part of incorporated Redwood City.
==Location and History==
Redwood Shores is located roughly halfway between San Francisco and San Jose, and is bordered by Belmont and San Carlos to the southwest. Foster City lies to the northwest and Bair Island to the southeast; both are separated from Redwood Shores by sloughs. To the northeast is San Francisco Bay. Bair Island technically connects Redwood Shores to Redwood City, but there are no bridges between Redwood Shores and Bair Island. As a result, there is no way to drive from Redwood City to Redwood Shores (and vice versa) without exiting Redwood City and passing through San Carlos or Belmont (via unincorporated San Mateo County).
Redwood Shores was built up from reclaimed land〔Jeanne Thivierge. The Development of Redwood Shores. Redwood City, a Hometown History, 2007, p. 384. ISBN 978-0-89863-297-2〕 in the marshes of San Francisco Bay in the 1960s, much like its neighbor, Foster City, but the development almost never came to be. The owner of the land, the Leslie Salt Company, filled in soft ground known as "bay mud" formerly used for salt-evaporation ponds, but a significant controversy developed over fears of its susceptibility to serious earthquake damage because the area is between and close to the San Andreas and Hayward faults. The ensuing battle between various government agencies and business interests eventually put Leslie Salt out of business. As a result, Bank of America became the owner of the development in 1972.〔John J. Fried. Life Along the San Andreas Fault. Saturday Review Press, 1973, pp.124-138. ISBN 0-8415-0233-1〕
It was the home of the Marine World/Africa U.S.A., California park from the 1960s to 1986, when the park moved to Vallejo, California (eventually becoming Six Flags Discovery Kingdom). The former location of Marine World has evolved into posh homes and townhomes, condominiums, apartments, parks, preserved land, and Silicon Valley business parks and headquarters; including the headquarters of Oracle Corporation.〔RCPL: ''(Redwood Shores: A Short History )''〕
