Tunitas, California was a small unincorporated community in San Mateo County. It was originally located on State Route 1 until that state route was moved to the west. It was also renamed Lobitos.[1]

Arroyo de las Tunitas is shown on the diseños, about 1839, of the San Gregorio and Canada Verde grants.[2] The name means “A small bush…grows super-abundant at and near its mouth, and its fruit is known to the present generation as sea apples.”[3]
