History
Meadowcreek is in on the site of the original Rancho Corte de Madera de Presidio, a land grant from Mexico to settler John Reed in 1834. Reed established a successful saw mill on Corte Madera Creek, and used his earnings to pay for the grant. The timber helped to build San Francisco. After California statehood in 1850, Reed Station was acquired by the Gardiner family, and soon became a dairy farm. In 1873, The North Pacific Coast Railway crossed the northern boundary of Meadowcreek, then through Ring Mountain to the ferry dock in Tiburon. By 1900 there was a racetrack on the present site of Meadowcreek!
