Monta Loma is a neighborhood in Mountain View, California in the San Francisco Bay Area.

[2] In 1893, Stanford University professors began to "investigate" the shell mound to better understand local Ohlone Native American customs.

[3][4] The archeologists found a wide variety of items in the mound, including many oyster shells, fishing spears, pestles, jewelry, arrowheads, and among others.

From 1959 until 1967, a young Steve Jobs and his family lived on Diablo Avenue in Monta Loma and he attended the local elementary school.

[1][13] The MLNA hosts several annual neighborhood events, and serves to encourage dialog between the Mountain View city government and the neighbors.
