Palo Alto's city-run utility supplies both power and gas, and where a kitchen switches to all-electric, an installation meets a fresh 240-volt circuit waiting for an induction unit and a heat-pump laundry pair that needs no outside vent, with the old gas stub capped by a plumber beforehand. ## What Palo Alto does to an appliance. Palo Alto was incorporated in 1894 when Leland and Jane Stanford founded Stanford University, and the city now borders East Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Stanford, Portola Valley and Menlo Park. The city is named for a coastal redwood tree, El Palo Alto, that a 1769 Spanish expedition camped beside; Palo Alto is Spanish for "tall stick." The city's population was 68,572 at the 2020 census.
