History The Ohlone people have been living in the Bay Area for hundreds of years. The closest villages to what is now Millbrae were located by the banks of San Bruno Creek, and they are known as Urebure and Siplichiquin. A third nearby village—whose original name is unknown—is called CA-SMA-299. The local Ohlone people are today called the Ramaytush Ohlone, however this name is a linguistic designation that arose relatively recently. Prior to colonization, the Ohlone did not operate as a single consolidated unit; they identified more with their local tribe and village than with the nation at large. The several local tribes that lived in the area prior to colonization coalesced into the modern Ramaytush people following the precipitous decline of their population in the 1800s.

Economy Millbrae's economy is driven in-part by its long strips of hotels located near transit. Because of its close proximity to San Francisco International Airport and to the city of San Francisco, and its advanced transit centre that can connect people to all major cities/events in the Bay Area, many tourists opt to stay in Millbrae.
