<p>Stanford is known as "The Farm" because it was built on Mr. and Mrs. Stanford's farmland. Officially, Stanford's land consists of over 8000 acres, and about 5000 of those acres are in Santa Clara County, where Palo Alto is. 1,160 of those acres are in Palo Alto. Most of Stanford is still undeveloped - I think about 2/3 is just the beautiful foothills or has some light construction. The gorgeous campus itself is simply the tip of the iceberg.</p>
