Profile

Santa Clara is a city in Santa Clara County, California, United States, in the southern San Francisco Bay Area. It had 127,647 residents at the 2020 census and was incorporated on 5 July 1852.

Spanish settlers founded the city in 1777 with Mission Santa Clara de Asis, under the leadership of Junipero Serra. The mission sits at the heart of the Santa Clara University campus, which Wikipedia describes as the oldest private university in California. Santa Clara lies in the centre of Silicon Valley and is the headquarters of Intel, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Nvidia.

The city appears in our coverage of Nvidia, including our report on the Nvidia board opening an investigation into chief executive Jensen Huang.
