The name Foundry & Lux has historical ties to South San Francisco’s past — when cattle and steel ruled the growing region. In the mid-1800s, Charles Lux partnered with cattleman Henry Miller to purchase several thousand acres of land in Baden, now known as South San Francisco. Together they formed the firm Miller & Lux, which eventually became the greatest cattle empire in California. The word Foundry nods to the area’s “Industrial City” past — immortalized in 1923 by a huge sign on a hillside overlooking the city — in which iron and steel foundries smelted precious metals, and even built ships during World War II.
