About Oakland
Oakland, founded in 1852, is a major city on the east side (also
called East Bay) of San Francisco Bay in Northern California in
the United States. To its north lies Berkeley, home to the campus
of the University of California, Berkeley. To its west stands
San Francisco, across the Bay Bridge. To its south lies the island
city of Alameda, and San Leandro lies to the southeast. Along
the hills which run from north to east, Oakland borders five of
the East Bay Regional Parks. In the center of Oakland, and completely
surrounded by it (prompting the common analogy to a doughnut hole),
is the wealthy independent city of Piedmont. Oakland is home of
the Port of Oakland, one of three major shipping ports on the
American West coast.Economic recovery along with Oakland's weather,
location, hillside neighborhoods with views of San Francisco and
the Bay, aggressive policies to reduce crime, astronomically high
rents and home prices in nearby San Francisco, and a substantial
offering of shopping districts and restaurants representing cuisines
both homegrown and worldwide have led to an increase of population
and of real-estate prices in the past decade.Oakland is the county
seat of Alameda County. As of the 2000 U.S. Census, the city's
population was 399,484, making it the third largest city in the
San Francisco Bay Area after San Jose and San Francisco.The Oakland
Tribune published its first newspaper on February 21, 1874. The
Tribune Tower, which sports a clock, is one of Oakland's landmarks.Oakland
hosts Oakland International Airport, which serves most of the
low-cost air traveler's market to and from the San Francisco Bay
Area. Major employers in Oakland include the local, state and
federal governments, United States Postal Service, regional transportation
and utility authorities, Kaiser Permanente, Clorox, Zhone Technologies,
Dreyers Grand Ice Cream, carriers associated with the Port, and
commercial bakeries. http://www.oaklandnet.com/
