Hayward is named for William Hayward, a worker from a New England shoe factory who came to California in 1849 during the California gold rush. Upon his arrival, Hayward saw that making shoes would be more profitable than mining for gold. He squatted on Guillermo Castro's ranch for a while, and sought his assistance. Castro tried to evict him, but Hayward persuaded him otherwise by making him a pair of boots. His stubbornness and shoe-making ability convinced Castro to hire him. Hayward later bought 40 acres (160,000 m²) of Castro's land, which he used to establish a store and a small dairy operation.
