Gilroy Hot Springs Road is an approximately 6.5-mile highway located in the Diablo Range of southeast Santa Clara County. The highway begins at the Coyote Lake Reservoir and terminates at the 1921 era Gilroy Hot Springs Road Bridge. The site of Gilroy Yamato Hot Springs traditionally has been a luxury resort which saw significant Japanese design influence beginning in the late 1930s. The resort site is now owned by the State Park service and is awaiting restoration.

I note that as far back as 1882 there was "Gilroy" and "Old Gilroy".
I assume the town moved to be on the railroad line when that was established.

Yes, the town moved to take advantage of having access to the Southern Pacific Coast Line.
