Lafayette is a city in Contra Costa County, California, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city's population was 23,908. The city is named in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, the French military hero of the American Revolutionary War, one of many U.S. cities to be so named. The city is part of the greater San Francisco Bay Area and has its own station on the BART public transit system. Lafayette is situated between Walnut Creek, Moraga, and Orinda, and, together with the latter two towns, is considered locally as part of "Lamorinda." Lafayette is also known as being a part of the "Far East Bay," a classification which places it just outside of the realm of metropolitan Bay Area politics, culture, and nightlife. This area is separated from greater Berkeley and Oakland by the Berkeley Hills (and the Caldecott Tunnel running beneath), a geographical boundary within the East Bay which also represents interesting meteorological, cultural, and political distinctions. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
