The full name of the university is "Leland Stanford Junior University." Leland Stanford (senior) was one of the "Big Four" who founded the Southern Pacific Railroad, and he participated in the "Golden Spike" ceremony when the Central Pacific (later the Southern Pacific) linked with the Union Pacific at Promontory Point, Utah, to establish the first transcontinental railroad. Stanford held the offices of Governor of California and later U.S. Senator from California. He and his wife Jane established Stanford University in honor of their son Leland, Jr., who died at the age of 15 in 1884 on a trip to Italy. It opened its doors in 1891.
