Was Castro City ever a city?

This seems to be 1:50000 (or maybe even 1:25000?) map. That would likely mean that top-level labels will be district subdivisions, and both Castro-City and Mountain View were seen as districts within larger San Francisco area. District divisions on these soviet maps sometimes do not fit with actual administrative divisions on locations; for example, I've seen a similar map of Paris with districts named "Boulogne" and "Billancourt" - whereas actually it would be one commune named "Boulogne-Billancourt". Why map-makers decided to elevate a small neighborhood to the same level as Mountain View - might be a mistake in information-gathering, might be an attempt to put more toponyms on the map for ease of navigation? Anyway, it is not indicative of marked area being an actual city/town/whatever at any point in its history.
