== History ==
The entire area was originally part of the [[Rancho de las Pulgas]].
[[File:José Darío Argüello.jpg|thumb|upright|left|[[Californio]] politician [[José Darío Argüello]]; owner of Rancho de las Pulgas from 1795.]]
During the 1860s, Atherton was known as '''Fair Oaks'''. In 1923, it was decided to rename the town in honor of [[Faxon Atherton|Faxon Dean Atherton]], a former 19th century landowner on the south peninsula.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ci.atherton.ca.us/96/History-of-Atherton|title=History of Atherton, California}}</ref>
=== Lawsuit against the electrification of Caltrain ===
The town has been involved in lawsuits to block or delay the introduction of high-speed rail in California.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2016-07-11 |title=Atherton Wealthy Will Still Maybe Try To Block High-Speed Rail |url=https://sfist.com/2016/07/11/atherton_wealthy_will_still_maybe_t/ |access-date=2022-08-05 |work=SFist - San Francisco News |language=en |archive-date=August 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220805195755/https://sfist.com/2016/07/11/atherton_wealthy_will_still_maybe_t/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Cabanatuan |first=Michael |date=2015-02-10 |title=Atherton, high-speed rail foes sue to block electrifying Caltrain |url=https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Anti-high-speed-rail-groups-sue-over-Caltrain-6071826.php |access-date=2022-08-05 |work=SFGATE |language=en-US}}</ref> Atherton was an early and vocal opponent of the electrification of the U.S. commuter railroad [[Caltrain]], which serves cities in the [[San Francisco Peninsula]] and [[Silicon Valley]]. Residents opposed electrification and the proposed high-speed rail route because the overhead electrical lines would require tree removal and the town could potentially be divided by the closing of the two grade crossings at Fair Oaks Lane and Watkins Avenue.<ref name="SFC-040725">{{cite news |author=Whiting, Sam |date=July 25, 2004 |title=End of an Era / Caltrain's electrification plans threaten Atherton's railroad charm |newspaper=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] |url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/End-of-an-Era-Caltrain-s-electrification-plans-2738949.php |access-date=March 25, 2017}}</ref>
In February 2015, shortly after the project received environmental clearance from the state, Atherton sued Caltrain, alleging the agency's environmental impact review was inadequate and that its collaboration with the CHSRA should be further vetted.<ref name="SFC-150210">{{cite news |author=Cabanatuan, Michael |date=February 10, 2015 |title=Atherton, high-speed rail foes sue to block electrifying Caltrain |newspaper=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] |url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Anti-high-speed-rail-groups-sue-over-Caltrain-6071826.php |access-date=March 25, 2017}}</ref> In July 2015, the suit proceeded after Caltrain's request to the [[Surface Transportation Board]] to exempt it from [[California Environmental Quality Act]] (CEQA) guidelines was denied. Atherton reiterated its opposition to electrification on the basis that overhead wires would require removing a significant number of heritage trees, and city representatives asserted that "newer, cleaner, more efficient diesel trains" should supplant plans for "century-old catenary electrical line technology". Atherton mayor Rick De Golia was quoted as saying "Caltrain is locked into an old technology and 20th century thinking".<ref name="SJMN-150708">{{cite news |author=Orr, John |date=July 8, 2015 |title=Atherton lawsuit against Caltrain over electrification project clears one hurdle |newspaper=[[San Jose Mercury News]] |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/2015/07/08/atherton-lawsuit-against-caltrain-over-electrification-project-clears-one-hurdle/ |access-date=March 31, 2017}}</ref> After Caltrain issued infrastructure and rolling stock contracts in July 2016, Atherton representatives did not file a temporary restraining order to halt those contracts, preferring to let the suit proceed to a hearing.<ref>{{cite news |author=Orr, John |date=July 11, 2016 |title=Atherton won't seek temporary injunction in fight with Caltrain |newspaper=[[San Jose Mercury News]] |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/07/11/atherton-wont-seek-temporary-injunction-in-fight-with-caltrain/ |access-date=March 31, 2017}}</ref> In September 2016, [[Contra Costa County Superior Court]] Judge [[Barry Goode]] sided with Caltrain, ruling that the electrification project did not hinge on the high-speed rail project's success, and was thus independent from the latter.<ref name="SMDJ-160927">{{cite news |author=Weigel, Samantha |date=September 27, 2016 |title=Judge gives Caltrain electrification green light: Atherton loses lawsuit, claims local project was too closely tied to high-speed rail |newspaper=San Mateo Daily Journal |url=http://www.smdailyjournal.com/news/local/judge-gives-caltrain-electrification-green-light-atherton-loses-lawsuit-claims/article_f71026d7-ae96-5e00-a569-785db51990f2.html |access-date=March 29, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author=Wood, Barbara |date=September 28, 2016 |title=Atherton loses lawsuit over Caltrain electrification project |publisher=The Almanac |url=http://www.almanacnews.com/news/2016/09/28/atherton-loses-lawsuit-over-caltrain-electrification-project |access-date=March 31, 2017}}</ref>

== History ==
The entire area was originally part of the [[Rancho de las Pulgas]].
[[File:José Darío Argüello.jpg|thumb|upright|left|[[Californio]] politician [[José Darío Argüello]]; owner of Rancho de las Pulgas from 1795.]]
During the 1860s, Atherton was known as '''Fair Oaks'''. In 1923, it was decided to rename the town in honor of [[Faxon Atherton|Faxon Dean Atherton]], a former 19th century landowner on the south peninsula.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ci.atherton.ca.us/96/History-of-Atherton|title=History of Atherton, California}}</ref>
=== Lawsuit against the electrification of Caltrain ===
The town has been involved in lawsuits to block or delay the introduction of high-speed rail in California.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2016-07-11 |title=Atherton Wealthy Will Still Maybe Try To Block High-Speed Rail |url=https://sfist.com/2016/07/11/atherton_wealthy_will_still_maybe_t/ |access-date=2022-08-05 |work=SFist - San Francisco News |language=en |archive-date=August 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220805195755/https://sfist.com/2016/07/11/atherton_wealthy_will_still_maybe_t/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Cabanatuan |first=Michael |date=2015-02-10 |title=Atherton, high-speed rail foes sue to block electrifying Caltrain |url=https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Anti-high-speed-rail-groups-sue-over-Caltrain-6071826.php |access-date=2022-08-05 |work=SFGATE |language=en-US}}</ref> Atherton was an early and vocal opponent of the electrification of the U.S. commuter railroad [[Caltrain]], which serves cities in the [[San Francisco Peninsula]] and [[Silicon Valley]]. Residents opposed electrification and the proposed high-speed rail route because the overhead electrical lines would require tree removal and the town could potentially be divided by the closing of the two grade crossings at Fair Oaks Lane and Watkins Avenue.<ref name="SFC-040725">{{cite news |author=Whiting, Sam |date=July 25, 2004 |title=End of an Era / Caltrain's electrification plans threaten Atherton's railroad charm |newspaper=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] |url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/End-of-an-Era-Caltrain-s-electrification-plans-2738949.php |access-date=March 25, 2017}}</ref>
In February 2015, shortly after the project received environmental clearance from the state, Atherton sued Caltrain, alleging the agency's environmental impact review was inadequate and that its collaboration with the CHSRA should be further vetted.<ref name="SFC-150210">{{cite news |author=Cabanatuan, Michael |date=February 10, 2015 |title=Atherton, high-speed rail foes sue to block electrifying Caltrain |newspaper=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] |url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Anti-high-speed-rail-groups-sue-over-Caltrain-6071826.php |access-date=March 25, 2017}}</ref> In July 2015, the suit proceeded after Caltrain's request to the [[Surface Transportation Board]] to exempt it from [[California Environmental Quality Act]] (CEQA) guidelines was denied. Atherton reiterated its opposition to electrification on the basis that overhead wires would require removing a significant number of heritage trees, and city representatives asserted that "newer, cleaner, more efficient diesel trains" should supplant plans for "century-old catenary electrical line technology". Atherton mayor Rick De Golia was quoted as saying "Caltrain is locked into an old technology and 20th century thinking".<ref name="SJMN-150708">{{cite news |author=Orr, John |date=July 8, 2015 |title=Atherton lawsuit against Caltrain over electrification project clears one hurdle |newspaper=[[San Jose Mercury News]] |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/2015/07/08/atherton-lawsuit-against-caltrain-over-electrification-project-clears-one-hurdle/ |access-date=March 31, 2017}}</ref> After Caltrain issued infrastructure and rolling stock contracts in July 2016, Atherton representatives did not file a temporary restraining order to halt those contracts, preferring to let the suit proceed to a hearing.<ref>{{cite news |author=Orr, John |date=July 11, 2016 |title=Atherton won't seek temporary injunction in fight with Caltrain |newspaper=[[San Jose Mercury News]] |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/07/11/atherton-wont-seek-temporary-injunction-in-fight-with-caltrain/ |access-date=March 31, 2017}}</ref> In September 2016, [[Contra Costa County Superior Court]] Judge [[Barry Goode]] sided with Caltrain, ruling that the electrification project did not hinge on the high-speed rail project's success, and was thus independent from the latter.<ref name="SMDJ-160927">{{cite news |author=Weigel, Samantha |date=September 27, 2016 |title=Judge gives Caltrain electrification green light: Atherton loses lawsuit, claims local project was too closely tied to high-speed rail |newspaper=San Mateo Daily Journal |url=http://www.smdailyjournal.com/news/local/judge-gives-caltrain-electrification-green-light-atherton-loses-lawsuit-claims/article_f71026d7-ae96-5e00-a569-785db51990f2.html |access-date=March 29, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author=Wood, Barbara |date=September 28, 2016 |title=Atherton loses lawsuit over Caltrain electrification project |publisher=The Almanac |url=http://www.almanacnews.com/news/2016/09/28/atherton-loses-lawsuit-over-caltrain-electrification-project |access-date=March 31, 2017}}</ref>
