Oakland, California

 

Oakland   founded in 1852, is the eighth-largest city in California, just a few miles from San Francisco.  Oakland is located in Northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area, the sixth-most-populous metropolitan area in the United States.

 

Oakland is a major West Coast port, and is home to several major corporations including Kaiser Permanente and Clorox, as well as corporate headquarters for nationwide businesses like Dreyer's and Cost Plus World Markets.     Rand McNally recently named Oakland as having the best weather in the United States. According to the 2000 U.S. census, Oakland is one of  most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, with over 150 languages spoken.

The city of Oakland stretches from the San Francisco Bay up into the East Bay hills. The character of these neighborhoods continues to change as waves of migrants from within the United States and from other countries relocate here. The changing economy has also lured more workers with information technology and biotechnology skills to Oakland.
