History

The City Hall opened in 1930. A circle-in square design element on the building's facade was used to create the current city logo. It served as Hayward City Hall between 1930-1969. When the Hayward City Center Building opened in October 1969 the city government moved there. The current Hayward City Hall is located at 777 B Street, three blocks away from Giualini Plaza.

A trace from the Hayward Fault runs directly under the old City Hall building. The building was abandoned due to structural damage caused by aseismic creep.

Renaming

In 1999 the City of Hayward renamed the building and surrounding park Alex Giualini Plaza after a former mayor.[citation needed]
