If you’ve lived in Castro Valley for a while you’ll know that, before the opening of the Castro Valley Marketplace, the large building located at the heart of Castro Valley Boulevard was, for the most part, completely vacant. In this installment of our Castro Valley History series, we’ll be taking a look at the history of an establishment that still goes by one name in the hearts of many Castro Valley Residents—the Daughtrey’s building.
Over the past century, the landscape of Castro Valley has transformed from vast tracts of chicken ranches into a bustling suburban center. However, one of its most advanced buildings belongs to one of its oldest institutions: the Castro Valley Library. In this edition of our Castro Valley history series, we’ll take a look at the humble origins of our town library and its journey from a small, ragtag operation to a pillar of the community.
