Castro Valley is named after Don Guillermo Castro, who was a soldier in the Mexican army and later a rancher. Castro Valley is the original 28,000 acres of land granted to Castro, originally called Rancho San Lorenzo. This land also included Hayward and San Lorenzo, including Crow Canyon, Cull Canyon, and Palomares Canyons. Shortly after obtaining this land, Castro was forced to sell off parts of it to pay back debt due to bad gambling habits.

Then in 1864 the last of his holdings (Castro Valley) was sold in a sheriff’s sale to Faxon Atherton for 400,000 dollars. Atherton (whom the city of Atherton is named after) in turn began selling off small parcels of the land. Two gentlemen named Cull (Cull Canyon) and Luce bought some 2,400 acres and built a steam-operated saw mill in Redwood Canyon. The Jensen brothers also bought land from Atherton in 1867. In the 1940s and 1950s, Castro Valley was a farm town known for its chicken ranches. Later it developed into a small suburban community, where workers lived and commuted to other cities for work.
