A Brief History
Noe Valley was named after Jose de Jesus Noe, the last Mexican alcalde. Like many of San Francisco’s neighborhoods, it was originally home to blue- collar families. Noe Valley was mainly developed at the turn of the 19th century, especially after the 1906 earthquake. As a result, the neighborhood contains many examples of San Francisco's Victorian and Edwardian architecture.  Noe Valley Today Noe Valley has since undergone successive waves of gentrification and is now considered an upscale area. Many urban professionals, particularly young couples with children, now reside in Noe Valley. The neighborhood is primarily residential, although there is a commercial area along 24th Street, between Church Street and Castro Street and on Church Street between Clipper and 30th Street. For a local prespective on Noe Valley, see the Noe Valley Voice. Historian and Noe Valley resident, Bill Yenne, has writen an excellent book "San Francisco's Noe Valley", which is published by Arcadia.
