Agnew's Village, California

It was named for Abram Agnew, a Santa Clara Valley pioneer from Ohio who settled there around 1873.

[1][2][3] Agnew donated 4 acres (1.6 ha) of land for a South Pacific Coast Railroad station and laid out the town, causing the station and town to be referred to as "Agnew's".

Agnew's land appears on 1877 maps, opposite Lick Mill, a paper mill operated by James Lick.

[2] Agnew's Village was annexed into Santa Clara in the mid 1980s.
