Origin of San Bruno 2 Years, 2 Months ago Karma: 0  
San Bruno was the location of the Ohlone village Urebure. It was explored in 1769 by a Spanish expedition led by Gaspar de Portola. Later, more extensive explorations by Bruno Hecate resulted in the naming of San Bruno Creek after St. Bruno of Cologne, the founder of a medieval monastic order. This creek apparently later gave its name to the community.
