Castroville is a census-designated place (CDP) in Monterey County, California in the United States. Established in 1863. Named after founding father, Juan Bautista Castro (1835–1915.) The name "Castro" is Spanish (Romance language). Developed from Latin, it literally translates to "fortification." Juan Bautista Castro subdivided a large portion of land from the southwest area of Diseño del Rancho Bolsa Nueva y Moro Cojo. Literally translated, new pocket and lame moor. Pocket refers to small areas of land surrounded by marshes. The land around Castroville was described as (La Tembladera) literally translated, “trembling earth.” "The Rancho, according to tradition was named for a lame black horse." 〔"Tell Me More Ancestor Stories, Grandma" A History of Early California Families. Diana J. Dennett Page 58.〕 Diseño del Rancho Bolsa Nueva y Moro Cojo, extends from Moss Landing to Prunedale, and south of Castroville. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castroville, California」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
