History
Castro owned the northern half, which included Alamo. John became the first postmaster in 1852 and she applied her considerable energies to schooling children and beginning a Cumberland Presbyterian church. The Alamo post office is the oldest continuously operated one in the valley. Her father, brother and sister were also postmasters from 1905 to 1960. A Mexican land grant, called Rancho San Ramon, was deeded to Mariano Castro and his uncle Bartolo Pacheco in 1833.
