Mr. Macondray acquired a large tract of land on the south bank of the San Mateo Creek and there for several years made his home, subsequently selling to John Parrott, a native of Fairfax Court House, Virginia. This property remained in the hands of the Parrott estate until 1927 and is now being subdivided as the Baywood Subdivision and will probably become one of the most desirable of all of the home locations of San Mateo County."

I've lived in the SF Bay area for over 15 years and I've never heard San Mateo referred to as the "Paris of the
Peninsula". I think this was added as a joke and should be removed from the Wiki. The only reference to "Paris of the Peninsula" I can find on Google is the one below.
