Welcome message from The Chamber of Commerce
Thoughtful
planning has made Morgan Hill one of the most desirable and
fastest growing communities in Santa Clara County. People are
drawn to the beautiful hillsides surrounding the valley, the
peaceful atmosphere and the superior quality of life Morgan
Hill offers. Morgan Hill’s combination of climate, resources,
points of interests, activities and ethnic diversity provide
a solid economic environment as well as a vital and exciting
community in which to live, work and play.
Morgan Hill has all there is to offer…
For tourists and visitors, Morgan Hill offers excellent restaurants
and accommodations, golf courses, spas, wineries, microbrewery,
outdoor recreation (e.g.: hiking, fishing, camping, skiing,
boating); a quaint, yet vital downtown, hot air ballooning,
shopping, etc. With the addition of the City’s new Community
Center and Playhouse, Aquatic Center, Sports Complex, and indoor
Recreation Center, Morgan Hill is a prime venue for sporting
events, conventions and conferences. Morgan Hill’s location
in the southern part of Silicon Valley, as well as its central
location between San Francisco and Monterey makes it a prime
location for San Jose’s citywide conventions to utilize
overflow hotel rooms and convention tours.
Morgan Hill’s business setting with a rural feeling offers
businesses available land and buildings with lower land and
lease costs; great quality of life; proximity to both skilled
and semi-skilled labor force; access to public transportation;

to festivals and celebrations such as the Taste of Morgan Hill;
Mushroom Mardi Gras Festivals; December Holiday Parade and Tree
Lighting Ceremony; Fourth of July Parade and Festivities; Friday

Halloween program; and many more. Morgan Hill’s youth also
have the opportunity to participate in an array of organized
sports such as baseball, softball, soccer, football and aquatics,
as well as activities including dance, gymnastics, karate studios
and youth organizations. The Morgan Hill Unified School District
