Early residents during the [[California Gold Rush]] era lived here as [[squatter]]s on the Rancho San Lorenzo, and the informal name given to the area was '''Squattersville'''.<ref>[http://www.sanlorenzoexpress.com/history/hxintro.htm]</ref> The first post office opened in San Lorenzo in 1854.<ref name=CGN>{{California's Geographic Names|696}}</ref> Many of the early inhabitants have been laid to rest in [[San Lorenzo Pioneer Cemetery]], including Moses Wicks, who brought oysters to San Leandro Bay (by boat around the cape) from Patchogue, Long Island.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}. The cemetery is maintained by the county and the [[Hayward Area Historical Society]]. San Lorenzo was mostly farmland, a significant center of production of fruit and flowers, from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. In 1944, under contract to the U.S. Navy, David Bohannon's Greenwood Company began construction of San Lorenzo Village, a tract of two- and three-bedroom homes for workers in the East Bay's war industries. San Lorenzo Village was one of the nation's first planned communities, with parcels designated for schools, churches, parks, and several retail centers. Bohannon's pioneering pre-cutting techniques, referred to as the "California method," were used in later developments, such as the more famous [[Levittown, Pennsylvania]]. Home construction continued into the 1950s to accommodate the region's booming population. ==Public education== San Lorenzo is served by the [[San Lorenzo Unified School District]], established in 1865. ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== {{Commons category}} * [http://www.aclibrary.org/branches/slz/default.asp?topic=SanLorenzo&cat=SLZHome/ San Lorenzo Library] * [http://sanlorenzoexpress.com/ San Lorenzo Express (local news)] * [http://www.slvha.com/ San lorenzo Village Homes Association] * [http://friendsofsanlorenzocreek.org/ Friends of San Lorenzo Creek] * [http://sanlorenzoheritage.org/ San Lorenzo Heritage Society] * [http://www.haywardareahistory.org Hayward Area Historical society] * [http://www.sanlorenzochamber.com/ San Lorenzo Chamber of Commerce] {{SF Bay Area}} {{Alameda County, California}} [[Category:Census-designated places in Alameda County, California]] [[Category:Populated places established in 1944]] [[Category:Populated places in the United States with Hispanic plurality populations]] [[ca:San Lorenzo (Califòrnia)]] [[de:San Lorenzo (Kalifornien)]] [[es:San Lorenzo (California)]] [[nl:San Lorenzo (Californië)]] [[pt:San Lorenzo (Califórnia)]] [[sh:San Lorenzo (Kalifornija)]] [[sv:San Lorenzo, Kalifornien]] [[vo:San Lorenzo (California)]]'
