Facts about the city
Canyon, formerly known as Sequoya, is an unincorporated community located near the border of Contra Costa and Alameda counties, in the U.S. state of California. It is situated between Oakland and Moraga in the San Francisco Bay Area. The community is named for its location in the upper canyon of San Leandro Creek along the eastern slope of the Berkeley Hills. Canyon lies at an elevation of 1138 feet (347 m).The community is mainly traversed by Pinehurst Road and Canyon Road. The homes of the community are nestled amongst the steep, narrow private roads and footpaths that extend from the redwood groves and ferns along the creek, through the mixed live oak, bay, and madrone forests on the steep hillsides, up to the chaparral and knobcone pines that grow along the ridge.

The only public services in the community are the local post office (ZIP Code 94516) where all mail is picked up and the 'Canyon School', a 68-student K-8 public school, located on Pinehurst Road on the banks of the Upper San Leandro Creek. Logging camps and notorious saloons helped establish a local reputation for rowdiness in the nineteenth century. Canyon (formerly, Sequoya) is an unincorporated area community in Alameda County, California County, California situated between Oakland, California and Moraga, California in the San Francisco Bay Area. An extant fire trail west of the spot where Pinehurst Road makes a sharp hairpin turn near Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve was previously known as Winding Way on some maps, and was originally an old 19th century logging road built by Hiram Thorn. A vast forest known as the Moraga Redwoods once covered the valley that is now Canyon.
