History

Castro died at the age of 90 in 1897. 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. The Huichin left a now-buried shell mound beside San Pablo Creek. One of the Huichin villages was located where the El Sobrante Library now stands. In this sense, the rancho was 'el sobrante', the remaining area.
