Moraga

Moraga has served as a ranch and rail-linked community in California’s East Bay since the early 20th century. Set in the rolling inland hills of Contra Costa County, it is crossed by Moraga Creek, part of the San Leandro Creek watershed. The town takes its name from Joaquín Moraga, whose family held the Rancho Laguna de los Palos Colorados land grant in the 19th century. Saint Mary’s College of California moved here in 1928, and its campus remains a central local institution. Nearby open-space preserves and hill trails place Moraga between the denser communities of the Bay Area and the inland valleys.
