Oliver Salt Industry Pioneer in Mt Eden History
This weekly feature traces the Oliver family's 1870s start in salt production near Mt Eden, from Andrew Oliver’s 1834 Sweden birth to his California ventures. It covers the 1000 acre evolution, salt plants, warehouses, dairying, and the “Oliver's Corners” crossroads, plus descendants continuing in Hayward area salt work and related farms.
