Hasford Heights, California


Hasford Heights is a neighborhood of the city of Richmond in western Contra Costa County, California.

History

The area began to be settled in the 1900s with pasturelands and farms. A sanitarium and wellness center was located here as well. In 1909 a stop on the East Shore and Suburban Railroad was constructed at the nearby Grand Canyon Park. Later after the 1906 earthquake and especially the World War II housing boom in Richmond used up much of the available land, the hillside area was subdivided and houses were built.
The community is located on a ridge bordering San Pablo, Richmond, and the unincorporated territory of Alvarado Park and Wildcat Canyon Regional Park.
