Prohibition In San Mateo County: An Illustrated Presentation | South SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In the 1930s, mobster Sam Termini called San Mateo County the most corrupt county in the state. With rumrunners landing Canadian whiskey on isolated beaches, moonshiners operating in homes and a multitude of speakeasies, the county earned a reputation as one of the “wettest” in the state during Prohibition.

Come and listen to Carmen Blair, Deputy Director of the San Mateo County Historical Association, as she shares Prohibition stories during an illustrated presentation.
