what county of alviso?
Alviso. This town, now part of the City of San Jose, is a National Register Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Historically, Alviso is one of the oldest towns in Santa Clara County. It once was expected to be a great city. Because of its location on San Francisco Bay, Alviso was the major commercial shipping point for the entire south county until the late 1800s. The town was almost totally deserted, however, after the railroads diverted travel in 1865.
