The name“ Cavallo” is part of the San Francisco Bay’ s history. It dates from 1775... wild horses once roamed here, and“ caballo” is the Spanish word for“ horse.” Early California settlers started using“ Cavallo,” as the pronunciation of“ b” and“ v” in Spanish are very close, and the name took hold.
