Our Eden Shores community is named after the Eden Township that was established in 1850 by farmers from Mt. Eden, Kentucky. The township spanned the area from west of what is now Interstate 880 and south of today’s State Route 92. Also known as Mt. Eden, the Eden Township developed shipping and salt harvesting industries along the San Francisco bay.
What is now the Eden Shores community is land-filled marshland east of the salt harvesting areas formerly operated by Oliver Salt Company, Leslie Salt Company, and Cargill Salt. The Eden Shores community is a mere 43 feet (13 meters) above sea level.
Standard Pacific Homes’ application to build 534 residential units at Eden Shores was initially approved by the Hayward Planning Commission at its meeting of January 9, 2003. (Click here to read a copy of the Planning Commission agenda report.)
The Eden Shores community is within the City of Hayward because the old Eden Township – then a city – was incorporated into Hayward in the late 1950s.
The Eden Shores community of homes is bounded on the east by Hesperian Blvd., on the north by Industrial Blvd., on the south by the Alameda Creek (which is the boundary line between Hayward and Union City), and on the west by the wetlands. The image below shows the community and its immediate surroundings.
