6216 San Jose is a main belt asteroid. It orbits the Sun every 4.57 years.[1]
The minor planet was discovered on September 30, 1975 by S. J. Bus at the Palomar Observatory and given the provisional designation 1975 SJ. In 1998 was renamed San Jose to honor the city of San Jose, California, United States, for its long support of nearby Lick Observatory particularly in efforts to reduce light pollution.[2]
