Alviso, Historical district in San Jose, United States
The neighborhood extends along the southern shore of San Francisco Bay, featuring wetlands, trails, and residential areas connected to downtown San Jose.
Founded in 1852 as an independent town, Alviso operated as a major shipping port for the Santa Clara Valley until railroad transportation diminished its maritime importance.
The district maintains several preserved buildings from the 19th century, including the Wade House from 1855 and the Old City Hall from 1933.
Alviso Marina County Park provides public access to hiking trails, boat launches, and observation points for watching local wildlife in the salt marshes.
The Bayside Canning Company, established in 1906, grew to become the third largest cannery in the United States before closing operations in 1936.
