Gilroy, California, was named after a local landowner, José de los Reyes Gilroy, who settled in the area in the late 19th century. The town was initially known as "Gilroy's Station" when a railroad depot was established in the 1860s. Over time, the name was shortened to simply "Gilroy." The city is now well-known for its garlic production and hosts an annual Garlic Festival.
