March 21: Hayward’s 150th Birthday! | We are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the founding of Hayward! Visit our history gallery to learn about how historical artifacts can tell the history of our city, and then come up with some items of your own that might tell YOUR history in the future. While you are here, learn about why carnations are significant to the city’s history and what role canning fruits and vegetables played.
