What is the role played by the Stanford Industrial Park in the growth of the Silicon Valley?

Answer:

The Silicon Valley is part of Santa Clara County in California, radiating outward from Stanford University. After World War II, Stanford University had some financial problems so to solve the problem about 8000 acres of land were leased to high tech companies for 99 years. The goal was to create a centre of high technology close to a cooperative university. So the Stanford Industrial Park was created, which was later known as Silicon Valley.
