Silicon Valley got its name from all the companies there that make silicon microchips. Back in 1971, a journalist named Don Hoefler started calling it Silicon Valley U.S.A. in his articles, and the name just stuck. Before all the tech stuff, that area, Santa Clara Valley, was mostly orchards. But then electronics took over and turned it into the tech center we know today. That's why silicon is now linked to the area's tech scene and computer industry.
