History

Roads were paved and homes were constructed. After Mexican independence from Spain in the early 19th century, Spanish colonists were given land grants, one of which was "Rancho El Sobrante", deeded to Juan Jose and Víctor Castro in 1841. El Sobrante was being called "Oak Grove" by industrial concerns in 1887 when the California and Nevada Railroad put a spur into the area for the purpose of carrying lumber cut from the hills. . By the early 20th century, Rancho El Sobrante had been reduced to a number of smaller ranches generally following a dirt road along San Pablo Creek.
