Beschreibung
The official slogan of this quaint and curious town proclaims, "It's great to be alive in Colma. " In no other city in the United States would such a slogan have the meaning that it does here. Colma, only 2. 25 square miles, has 1,500 living residents but more than a thousand times that in its deceased population. Seventeen cemeteries cover 75 percent of Colma's land. There is, however, more to Colma-formerly named Lawndale-than its cemeteries and monuments. A vibrant community, it boasts a rich history, including agricultural and business history, sports teams, schools, a theatre, and drayage businesses. Together, these components comprise a unique and important town and a critical part of San Mateo County's heritage.
