OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW

Oakland is largest city in Alameda County, California, with a population of 429,082. Located on the east side of San Francisco Bay opposite San Francisco, the city was incorporated on May 4, 1852 and is the county seat of Alameda County.

The area was first inhabited by the Ohlone tribe. In 1820 the land was granted by the Spanish crown to Luís María Peralta, and was eventually inherited by his four sons. During the California Gold Rush Oakland became a transportation hub for both goods and people. By the 1860’s, Oakland was a major railroad hub.

Oakland’s population burgeoned as refugees made homeless by the1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire fled to the East Bay. Oakland’s population continued to grow following the completion of the Bay Bridge in 1936. Further expansion continued during the period of rapid industrial growth of the World War II era, drawn to jobs in the shipbuilding and auto manufacturing industries.
