100 - Year Centennial Celebration

In 2023, the Town of Atherton will be celebrating its 100th birthday. This is a momentous occasion for our community, and we are excited to share this historic event with all of our residents. Our centennial celebration will be a tribute to the people and the stories that have shaped our community's history and have contributed to our success.

1st FamiliesWe invite all members of the Atherton community to participate in two celebrations, as we reflect on our past and look towards the future. Save the date for: 

  • Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 6:00 PM: Special Town Council Meeting including a screening of a centennial video celebration and cake. 
  • Sunday, September 24, 2023 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM: Centennial Celebration at Town Center with exhibits, food, family activities, and 100 - tree giveaway.

Leading up to those celebrations, we will feature icons, places, and historical moments that have made this Town the vibrant community that it is today on this page and on Atherton Online. Check out some of our Icons here:
