 Morgan
Hill is a city located in the southern part of Santa Clara County, California,
United States. Founded on November 10, 1906, the city was named after Hiram
Morgan Hill, a San Franciscan who built a country retreat home there in
1884.
Originally a community of
ranchers, farmers and orchardists, the city has evolved into a bedroom
community for the high-tech industries in Silicon Valley.
 The
silhouette of El Toro, a distinctive hill overshadowing the town
to the west, has been incorporated into the city's seal and official logo.
Morgan Hill Mushroom Mardi
Gras Festival and a 5K and 10K Run began in 1979. It is always
held on Memorial Weekend. There is plenty of things to do for everyone
who attends this fun and exciting event. From young children, to wine connoisseurs,
there is something for everybody. Great Food, Live Entertainment, Arts
& Crafts. The festival raises funds for educational scholarships, which
are granted annually and provides an opportunity for many local non-profit
organizations, clubs and schools to create awareness of their cause.
