They chose a lovely site in what is today’s Menlo Park. Hence, they became forever known as Menlo Park’s founders.
They erected a tall, wide arched wooden gate at the entrance to their enjoined estates. At the top of the arch, the name “Menlo Park” was
inscribed, along with the date August 1854. On either side of the large gate, two smaller arches were added, along with their names: D. J. Oliver and D. C. McGlynn.
After its construction, the name of Menlo Park was assigned to the new railroad station in 1863.
