History & History Related Items

Tiburon was named for the Spanish phrase, Punta de Tiburon (Shark Point). Though it is definitely a west coast city, being just north of the Golden Gate Bridge near San Francisco, it is often compared to a New England fishing village due to its quaint nature. Tiburon began as a railroad town. Al Capone came through town, confined to a railroad car, on his way to Alcatraz..
