Founded in 1852, Oakland,
California has history
that goes back much
further than its 150
years. Native Americans
lived in the region
for over 5,000 years.
The Spanish visited
the area in the 1770s,
and came to settle about
50 years later. Asians,
African Americans, and
those of Northern European
extraction came with
the Gold Rush, and put
down their own roots.
This Web site celebrates
both the history and
diversity of Oakland.
