Apartments for Rent in San Carlos, CA (1,248 Rentals)

The gold rush of the mid-1800s brought many to the region, and the addition of the Peninsula Railroad Corridor in 1863 spurned further population growth, thanks to increased ease of reaching San Francisco via rail. Still, San Carlos largely remained a fairly rural area, complete with dairy farms, until the turn of the century. A schools was completed in 1918, and the city was officially incorprated a few short years later. From 1940-1960 the city experienced a large swath of industry, ranging from cosmentics to a large electronics plant, and the city remains a bit of a distribution point for a number of manufacturers.
