The Far East
Bay is the area of the East
Bay that has cities in the Tri-Valley Area (Amador Valley, Livermore Valley, and San Ramon Valley). Cities in the Far East
Bay include, but are not limited to, Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville and Sunol.
The Far East
Bay is east of the Diablo Range within Alameda and Contra Costa counties, and therefore does not include Castro Valley. The Far East
Bay is also west of the Altamont Pass and therefore does not include Mountain
House or Tracy, cities outside of the Bay Area.
The Blue line of the BART line goes out to the Far East
Bay, ending in Pleasanton and Dublin.
The East
Bay is often seen by outsiders as only encompassing Oakland and its neighboring cities, but Alameda and Contra Costa counties extend much further east. The Far East Bay helps us understand this distinction.
