Loyola is a census-designated place in Santa Clara County, California, United States. The population was 3,261 at the 2010 census. The woodsy area is located between the cities of Los Altos and Los Altos Hills. It is the home of Facebook's first headquarters. Homes in the area range from cottages to mansions.
The name comes from a 1904 plan by the Jesuits of Santa Clara University to build a new university named for their founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola, in the area. If the plan had come to fruition, the university would have been located in the area of the present-day golf course on Country Club Drive. The Loyola project succumbed to delays and financing problems stemming from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.[3][4]
