With land donated by the original founder of Redwood City, Simon Mezes, the first of many
structures were built. Beginning with Courthouse no. 1 in 1858, Courthouse no. 2 in 1882,
Courthouse no. 3 in 1905 and Courthouse no. 4 in 1910, 1958 was the year that brought
the final 8-story addition to the structure that stands to this day.

Shortly after reconstruction in 1905 the great San Francisco quake of 1906 gave its dissenting vote over the design of Courthouse no. 3
