'''Loyola'''  is a [[census-designated place]] in [[Santa Clara County, California|Santa Clara County]], [[California]], [[United States]]. The population was 3,491 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. It was ranked as one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in America, with homes ranging from cottages to sprawling ranch houses and mansions. The woodsy area is the home of the Los Altos Golf & Country Club and is located between the city of [[Los Altos, California|Los Altos]] and the town of [[Los Altos Hills, California|Los Altos Hills]]. The neighborhood is named for [[Ignatius of Loyola]], a Spanish saint and founder of the [[Jesuit]]s.

==History==
The name comes from a 1904 plan by the [[Jesuit]]s of [[Santa Clara University]] to build a new university named for their founder, St. [[Ignatius of Loyola]], in the area. If the plan had come to fruition, the university would have been located in the area of the present-day golf course on Country Club Drive. The Loyola project succumbed to delays and financing problems stemming from the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake]].<ref>{{cite news | last = Blitzer | first = Carol | title = Neighborhoods: Loyola Corners, Los Altos | publisher = Palo Alto Online | url = http://www.paloaltoonline.com/neighborhoods/loyolacorners.php | access-date = 2008-10-25 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090115104038/http://www.paloaltoonline.com/neighborhoods/loyolacorners.php | archive-date = January 15, 2009 | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | last = McDonald | first = Don | title = Los Altos History: Loyola Corners | publisher = Los Altos Town Crier | date = 2007-10-31 | url = http://www.paloaltoonline.com/neighborhoods/loyolacorners.php | access-date = 2008-10-25 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090115104038/http://www.paloaltoonline.com/neighborhoods/loyolacorners.php | archive-date = January 15, 2009 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
