Castro Valley - Early Settlers - 1871

An old photo of the Stanton House reflects few changes from  the way it looks today.
 The Stanton House
Another early resident of Castro Valley and railroad man like Strobridge was Michael Stanton.
He and his wife Mary purchased 500 acres of land from Mattox and Hughes off Mattox road in 1871.
In 1873 they bought an additional 120 acres in the vicinity of where Eden Hospital now stands and built the family home.

The home was moved from that location in 1973 to its present address on Norbridge Avenue. It is currently privately owned and rented as office space. 
The Stanton family had two children, John and Anita, whose names were also memorialized in Castro Valley's streets. 
Old Castro Valley Farms, Orchards, and Homes
A look back at the names of the Castro Valley pioneers of 1876 will include many of these family names. Others came later, buying acreage, as Strobridge and Stanton did, from the original holders. The names of these early settlers live on today in the streets of Castro Valley. Like the Stanton House, some of these early homes still exist. The Peter  Hoare property remains on Redwood Road and is now a private residence
