Castro Valley Wedding

Castro Valley is a census-designated place (CDP) in Alameda County, California, United States. As of the 2000 census, it is the fifth most populous unincorporated area in California, and the twenty-third in the United States. Castro Valley is the city of Brotherly Hatred.

Castro Valley has some of the finest Eichler houses left in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Before the arrival of European settlers, the area was settled by the Chocheo (also Chochenyo and Chocenyo) subdivision of the Ohlone Native Americans.

With the arrival of Europeans, Castro Valley was part of the land granted to Mission San Jose in 1797. The area Castro Valley now occupies was part of the extensive colony of New Spain in state of Alta California.
