Oakland, Alameda County, California, USA

Notizen:
Wikipedia 2017:

Oakland ist die größte Stadt und die Kreisstadt von Alameda County, Kalifornien, USA. Oakland, eine wichtige Hafenstadt an der Westküste, ist die größte Stadt in der East Bay-Region der San Francisco Bay Area, die drittgrößte Stadt in der San Francisco Bay Area, die achtgrößte Stadt in Kalifornien und die 45. größte Stadt in der USA mit 419.267 Einwohnern ab 2015. Es dient als Handelszentrum für die San Francisco Bay Area; Der Hafen von Oakland ist der verkehrsreichste Hafen in der San Francisco Bay, ganz Nordkalifornien, und der fünftgrößte in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Die Stadt wurde 1852 eingemeindet.

Das Territorium von Oakland umfasst ein Mosaik aus kalifornischer Küstenterrassenprärie, Eichenwäldern und Nordküstenpeeling. Sein Land diente als reichhaltige Ressource, als seine Hangeiche und sein Redwood-Holz für den Bau von San Francisco abgeholzt wurden, und die fruchtbaren Flachlandböden von Oakland halfen ihm, eine produktive landwirtschaftliche Region zu werden. In den späten 1860er Jahren wurde Oakland als westliches Terminal der Transcontinental Railroad ausgewählt. Nach dem Erdbeben von 1906 in San Francisco zogen viele Bürger von San Francisco nach Oakland, um die Bevölkerung der Stadt zu vergrößern, den Wohnungsbestand zu erhöhen und die Infrastruktur zu verbessern. Es wuchs im 20. Jahrhundert mit seinem geschäftigen Hafen, den Werften und einer florierenden Automobilindustrie weiter.

Oakland ist bekannt für seine Nachhaltigkeitspraktiken, einschließlich eines Spitzenplatzes für die Nutzung von Strom aus erneuerbaren Ressourcen. Oakland ist auch bekannt für seine Geschichte des politischen Aktivismus sowie für seine professionellen Sport-Franchise-Unternehmen (wie die Oakland Raiders, Oakland Athletics und die Golden State Warriors) und große Unternehmen, zu denen das Gesundheitswesen, Dotcom-Unternehmen und Hersteller von Haushaltsprodukte. Darüber hinaus ist Oakland aufgrund des stetigen Zustroms von Einwanderern im 20. Jahrhundert zusammen mit Tausenden von afroamerikanischen Kriegern, die in den 1940er Jahren aus dem tiefen Süden gezogen sind, die ethnisch vielfältigste Großstadt des Landes.

History:

The earliest known inhabitants were the Huchiun Indians, who lived there for thousands of years. The Huchiun belonged to a linguistic grouping later called the Ohlone (a Miwok word meaning "western people"). In Oakland, they were concentrated around Lake Merritt and Temescal Creek, a stream that enters the San Francisco Bay at Emeryville.

In 1772, the area that later became Oakland was claimed, with the rest of California, by Spanish settlers for the King of Spain. In the early 19th century, the Spanish crown granted the East Bay area to Luis María Peralta for his Rancho San Antonio. The grant was confirmed by the successor Mexican republic upon its independence from Spain. Upon his death in 1842, Peralta divided his land among his four sons. Most of Oakland fell within the shares given to Antonio Maria and Vicente. The portion of the parcel that is now Oakland was called encinal—Spanish for "oak grove"—due to the large oak forest that covered the area, which eventually led to the city's name.

In 1851, three men—Horace Carpentier, Edson Adams, and Andrew Moon—began developing what is now downtown Oakland. On May 4, 1852, the Town of Oakland incorporated. Two years later, on March 25, 1854, Oakland re-incorporated as the City of Oakland, with Horace Carpentier elected the first mayor, though a scandal ended his mayorship in less than a year. The city and its environs quickly grew with the railroads, becoming a major rail terminal in the late 1860s and 1870s. In 1868, the Central Pacific constructed the Oakland Long Wharf at Oakland Point, the site of today's Port of Oakland.

A number of horsecar and cable car lines were constructed in Oakland during the latter half of the 19th century. The first electric streetcar set out from Oakland to Berkeley in 1891, and other lines were converted and added over the course of the 1890s. The various streetcar companies operating in Oakland were acquired by Francis "Borax" Smith and consolidated into what eventually became known as the Key System, the predecessor of today's publicly owned AC Transit.

At the time of incorporation, Oakland consisted of the territory that lay south of today's major intersection of San Pablo Avenue, Broadway, and Fourteenth Street. The city gradually annexed farmlands and settlements to the east and the north. Oakland's rise to industrial prominence, and its subsequent need for a seaport, led to the digging of a shipping and tidal channel in 1902. This resulted in the nearby town of Alameda being made an island. In 1906, the city's population doubled with refugees made homeless after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.

In 1916, General Motors opened a major automobile factory in East Oakland called Oakland Assembly. It produced Chevrolet cars and then GMC trucks until 1963, when it was moved to Fremont in southern Alameda County. Also in 1916, the Fageol Motor Company chose East Oakland for their first factory, manufacturing farming tractors from 1918 to 1923. By 1920, Oakland was the home of numerous manufacturing industries, including metals, canneries, bakeries, internal combustion engines, automobiles, and shipbuilding. By 1929, when Chrysler expanded with a new plant there, Oakland had become known as the "Detroit of the West," referring to the major auto manufacturing center in Michigan.

Oakland expanded during the 1920s, as its population expanded with factory workers. Approximately 13,000 homes were built in the 3 years between 1921 and 1924, more than during the 13 years between 1907 and 1920. Many of the large downtown office buildings, apartment buildings, and single-family houses still standing in Oakland were built during the 1920s; they reflect the architectural styles of the time.

Russell Clifford Durant established Durant Field at 82nd Avenue and East 14th Street in 1916. The first transcontinental airmail flight finished its journey at Durant Field on August 9, 1920, flown by Army Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker and Navy Lt. Bert Acosta. Durant Field was often called Oakland Airport, though the current Oakland International Airport was soon established four miles (6.4 km) to the southwest.

During World War II, the East Bay Area was home to many war-related industries. Oakland's Moore Dry Dock Company expanded its shipbuilding capabilities and built over 100 ships. Valued at $100 million in 1943, Oakland's canning industry was its second-most-valuable war contribution after shipbuilding. The largest canneries were in the Fruitvale District, and included the Josiah Lusk Canning Company, the Oakland Preserving Company (which started the Del Monte brand), and the California Packing Company.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt called on defense industries with government contracts to integrate their workforces and provide opportunities for all Americans. Tens of thousands of laborers were attracted from around the country, and especially poor whites and blacks from the Deep South: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas, as well as Missouri and Tennessee. Henry J. Kaiser's representatives recruited sharecroppers and tenant farmers from rural areas to work in his shipyards. African Americans were part of the Great Migration by which a total of five million persons left the South, mostly for the West, in the years from 1940 to 1970.
