Alviso District History

In 1845, Alviso was one of the oldest towns in the Bay Area until annexed by San Jose. Before San Jose completed its railroad system, Alviso served as a bustling port bringing passengers from San Francisco and the rest of the bay area via steamboat. Simultaneously, Alviso was once home to the third-largest canning company in the U.S., Bayside Cannery. What’s more, Alviso was known to have had a wild and wooly era during the Great Depression.
 
Alviso, located at the south end of the San Francisco Bay and the northernmost point of the City of San Jose, joined San Jose in 1968 to take advantage of the more advanced services of the larger city.
 
The Guadalupe River (which drains the Santa Cruz Mountains) and Coyote Creek (which drains the Diablo Range) travel north through Santa Clara Valley, where they meet the San Francisco Bay at Alviso Slough.
 
Before 2008, the Guadalupe River occasionally flooded in downtown San Jose, south of downtown, and in Alviso. In response to this flooding, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) launched a series of flood protection projects along the Guadalupe River. These projects ensure that residential and commercial areas near the river are protected. Overall, efforts to control the waters of the Guadalupe River have reduced the number of area floods, which had kept Alviso reeling.
