Crime Scene and Trauma Cleanup in Cupertino, CA

Cupertino takes its name from Arroyo San José de Cupertino, a creek named by cartographers on Juan Bautista de Anza's expedition after Saint Joseph of Cupertino.

Through the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Cupertino area was orchard country, growing prunes, apricots, and cherries in the Santa Clara Valley when it was known as the Valley of Heart's Delight.

Cupertino was incorporated on October 10, 1955, in part to preserve its quiet, low-density suburban character amid the postwar housing boom.

Cupertino is the home of Apple Inc., and it sits directly west of San Jose on the western edge of the Santa Clara Valley, with its western portions rising into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Apple's headquarters campus, Apple Park, opened to employees in April 2017, and its circular, ring-shaped main building houses more than 12,000 employees.

Well-known Cupertino landmarks include Apple Park, the Steve Jobs Theater, and the historic Le Petit Trianon mansion.

The 2020 census counted 60,381 people in Cupertino.

Cupertino has about 21,000 households, averaging about 2.77 people per household.

Only about 61% of Cupertino's homes are owner-occupied, and the median value of an owner-occupied home there tops $2,000,000.

Despite its tech-industry fame, Cupertino's population has recently been shrinking slightly, slipping from 60,381 in the 2020 census to a Census-estimated 58,333 by 2025.
