Silicon Valley is an area that located on the San Francisco, California, peninsula, radiates outward from Stanford University. It is contained by the San Francisco Bay on the east, the Santa Cruz Mountains on the west, and the Coast Range to the southeast.
The northern, urbanized end of the valley is part of a region locally known as the South Bay and also part of the electronics research and manufacturing area known as Silicon Valley. Most of the Santa Clara Valley is in Santa Clara County, including its county seat, San Jose.The valley, named after the Spanish Mission Santa Clara, was for a time known as the Valley of Heartâs Delight for its high concentration of orchards, flowering trees, and plants.he most northern urban areas are considered part of Silicon Valley. As Silicon Valley is not an actual valley, parts of the San Francisco Peninsula farther north are included in the Silicon Valley region as well. Locally, the urbanized areas of Santa Clara Valley are also referred to as part of the South Bay.
