Mowry Landing (formerly, Mawry Landing and Mowry's Landing) is a former settlement in Alameda County, California. It is located 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of central Newark on the San Francisco Bay.[2] It lies at an elevation of 10 feet (3 m).
Mowry Landing is near the western ends of Stevenson Blvd and Mowry Ave, within the current borders of Newark. It was named after Origin Mowry, a Mormon settler who moved there in 1846. It became a shipping port for produce[3] and grain[4] in the mid 19th century.
