Happy Birthday Larkspur!
On this day 102 years ago, the City of Larkspur officially incorporated. Larkspur earned its name in 1886. Downtown Larkspur is only three blocks long and has retained its historic charm. Larkspur gained a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Downtown Larkspur remains the central business district today and is lined with small boutiques and restaurants. Larkspur is primarily a residential community with 12,014 residents according to the 2000 U.S. census.
Larkspur is nestled at the base of King Mountain, under Blithedale Ridge and Mt Tam. It is known for its perfect weather, majestic redwood trees and beautiful magnolia trees which line Magnolia Road, Larkspur’s main thoroughfare.
I am proud to call Larkspur my home! Happy Birthday Larkspur!
