San Anselmo, CA
The land in and around San Anselmo was mostly pastoral until 1874, when the North Pacific Coast Railroad (NPC) added to its line a spur track from San Anselmo to San Rafael. In 1875, the railroad completed a line from Sausalito to Tomales and north to Cazadero via San Anselmo. For a few years, the town was referred to on railroad maps as, "Junction," but in 1883, the name San Anselmo came back into use. The San Anselmo post office opened in 1892.[2] Two postal substations were operated: Lansdale, from 1924 to 1962, and Yolanda, from 1924 to 1954.[2]
From 1902 until the early 1940s, San Anselmo was part of Marin's Northwestern Pacific (in 1907, investors formed the NWP) Electric Train system.[3][4][5] The Miracle Mile's and Center Boulevard's current "raised roadbed" were the railroad's right of way. Becoming unprofitable as a result of competition from the automobile and the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge, the railway was officially closed on March 1, 1941. The last of the major San Anselmo railroad station buildings was razed in 1963, according to the town's timeline. Interestingly, the 1913 electric train schedule shows a commute time from San Anselmo to the Sausalito Ferry to the Ferry Building in San Francisco of a mere 58 minutes, including the 32 minute ferry transit.[6]
San Anselmo incorporated in April 9, 1907. Its name came from the Punta de Quintin land grant, which marked this valley as the Canada del Anselmo (Valley of Anselm - an Indian who was buried in the area). San Anselmo was a silent film capital in the early 1900s. On March 12, 1974, San Anselmo officially became a town.

Foreclosure
When a homeowner defaults on their mortgage, the lender can often obtain a termination of the mortgagor's equitable right of redemption - in other words, the lender can sell the property without the homeowner being able to reclaim it at a later date. The property is then often sold at less-than-Market Value.
