Images of America – Centerville, Fremont

centerville_book_coverBy Philip Holmes and Jill Singleton

The tale of Centerville, Fremont — part of the sprawling landscape of the southeast San Francisco Bay — begins with near-forgotten histories like the once-sprawling grandeur of the Alviso rancho and the California 100, a battalion raised in Centerville for the Civil War. Centerville celebrates a sporting-mad past, centrally located on the way to San Jose from Oakland on the long, straight stretch once famed for horse and then bicycle racing and later as a motor-touring destination on the early Route 17.
