About Byron, CA

Byron's first post office opened in 1878. Byron is named after an employee of the railroad. In 1942, all of the town's residents of Japanese descent were forcibly removed by the US government with pressure from California agricultural interests and taken to Turlock assembly center. Contra Costa County built the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Center, better known informally as the Boys' Ranch on a 50 acres (200,000 m 2) tract immediately southeast of Byron in 1960. The Boys' Ranch is a minimum-security facility that houses up to 100 youthful offenders.
