Before it was Grizzly Island, was it 'Grisly'? / Delaplane, Kristin [291] [ECHOS-1996-291]
Some old timers would say Grizzly Island was named from the days when the grizzlies called the island home. That the bears from Mount Diablo came to feed on the island's wild hips and blackberries. Supposedly in those days they were said to be able to cross at a point where the lands of Contra Costa and Solano very nearly met and where the water was quite shallow.
