The Town of Atherton is a small government administration serving a six-square-mile, rural residential community in San Mateo County, California, with no industrial land use. It delivers municipal services from its Atherton base to residents in a population of about 7,000 people as reported by the 2011 census, supported by a small staff. The community is characterized by mature native and ornamental trees that define its townscape. In May 2024, Atherton launched a 'bait house' program intended to deter would-be burglars as a public-safety initiative. Earlier in 2024, the Atherton Library hosted a CaveSim educational event designed to teach children about conservation and science. The town's address is 80 Fair Oaks Lane, Atherton, California 94027.
