Germans in Mt Eden Shape Early Hayward History
In 1852 to 1865 many German and Danish families settled Mt Eden on the Sata and Cas tra Mexican grants. By 1885 Mt Eden was called Germantown or Little Denmark. John Johnson, born Hamburg 1818, built Mt Eden Landing and a salt operation, married Augusta Lorentz in 1855, and died 1900. August L Johnson expanded salt business, while Jans Peter Tucksen and John Walpert, both German, also prospered in the Mt Eden Hayward area.
