The urban center'south estimated population in 2019 was 77,624.^[10]

History [edit]

Castilian & Mexican era [edit]

Alameda occupies what was originally a peninsula connected to Oakland.^[11] Much of it was depression-lying and marshy. The college basis nearby and side by side parts of what is now downtown Oakland were the site of ane of the largest coastal oak forests in the globe. Spanish colonists called the area Encinal, meaning "forest of evergreen oak".^[12] Alameda is Castilian for "grove of poplar copse" or "tree-lined avenue."^[thirteen] It was chosen as the proper noun of the urban center in 1853 past popular vote.^[fourteen]

The inhabitants at the time of the arrival of the Spanish in the belatedly 18th century were a local band of the Ohlone tribe. The peninsula was included in the vast Rancho San Antonio granted in 1820 to Luis Peralta by the Castilian king who claimed California. The grant was subsequently confirmed by the Democracy of United mexican states upon its independence in 1821 from Spain.

Over fourth dimension, the identify became known as Bolsa de Encinal or Encinal de San Antonio.^[15]

The metropolis was founded on June 6, 1853, subsequently the U.s.a. acquired California following the Mexican-American War of 1848. The town originally contained three modest settlements. "Alameda" referred to the village at Encinal and Loftier streets, Hibbardsville was located at the North Shore ferry and shipping terminal, and Woodstock was on the west near the ferry piers of the South Pacific Coast Railroad and the Central Pacific. Somewhen, the Primal Pacific's ferry pier became the Alameda Mole. The borders of Alameda were fabricated coextensive with the island in 1872, incorporating Woodstock into Alameda.^[15] In his autobiography, author Marker Twain described Alameda equally "The Garden of California."^[16]

The first post office opened in 1854.^[15] The first school, Schermerhorn School, was opened in 1855 (and eventually renamed as Lincoln School). The San Francisco and Alameda Railroad opened the Encinal station in 1864.^[15] Encinal's own mail office opened in 1876, was renamed Due west End in 1877, and airtight in 1891.^[15] On September 6, 1869, the Alameda Terminal made history; information technology was the site of the arrival of the outset train via the First Transcontinental Railroad to reach the shores of San Francisco Bay,^[17] thus achieving the first coast to coast transcontinental railroad in Due north America.

The Croll Building, on the corner of Webster Street and Primal Artery, was the site of Croll's Gardens and Hotel, used equally preparation quarters for some of the about popular fighters in battle from 1883 to 1914.^[18] Jack Johnson and several other champions all stayed and trained here.^[19]]

The need for expanded shipping facilities and increased flow of current through the estuary led to the dredging of a tidal canal through the marshland between Oakland and Alameda. Construction started in 1874, simply it was non completed until 1902, resulting in Alameda becoming an island.^[twenty]

Modernistic era [edit]

In 1917, a individual entertainment park called Neptune Beach was built in the expanse now known as Crab Cove, which became a major recreation destination in the 1920s and 1930s. Both the American snowfall cone^[21] and the popsicle^[22] were first sold at Neptune Beach. The Kewpie doll became the original prize for winning games of chance at the beach – another Neptune Beach innovation.^{[23] [24]} The park closed downwardly in 1939.

The Alameda Works Shipyard was 1 of the largest and all-time-equipped shipyards in the country. Together with other industrial facilities, information technology became function of the defense industry buildup before and during World War II, which attracted many migrants from other parts of the United States for the high-paying jobs. In the 1950s, Alameda'southward industrial and shipbuilding industries thrived along the Alameda Estuary.

In the early 21st century, the Port of Oakland, across the estuary, has become one of the largest ports on the Westward Coast. Its operators use shipping technologies originally experimented inside Alameda. As of March 21, 2006, Alameda is a "Declension Guard City", one of seven then designated in the state. As of 2018, it is one of twenty-one inside the land.^[25]

In addition to the regular trains running to the Alameda Mole, Alameda was as well served by local steam commuter lines of the Southern Pacific (initially, the Central Pacific). Alameda was the site of the Southern Pacific's West Alameda Shops, where all the electrical trains were maintained and repaired. These were after adjusted as the East Bay Electrical Lines. The trains ran to both the Oakland Mole and the Alameda Mole.

In the 1930s Pan American Airways established a seaplane port along with the make full that led to the Alameda Mole, the original home base of operations for the China Clipper flying gunkhole. In 1929, the Academy of California established the San Francisco Aerodrome located near the current Webster Street tube as a public aerodrome. The Bay Airdrome had its gala christening party in 1930. The Airdrome was closed in 1941 when its air traffic interfered with the newly built Naval Air Station Alameda (NAS Alameda).^[26]

In the belatedly 1950s, the Utah Structure Company began a landfill beyond the Old Sea Wall and created South Shore.

On February vii, 1973, a USN Vought A-7E Corsair Ii fighter jet on a routine preparation mission from Lemoore Naval Air Station suddenly caught fire 28,000 feet (8,500 1000) above the San Francisco Bay, crashing into the Tahoe Apartments in Alameda. 11 people, including airplane pilot Lieutenant Robert Lee Ward, died in the crash and fire.^{[27] [28]}

Geography [edit]

Today, the urban center consists of the principal original department, with the former Naval Air Station Alameda (NAS Alameda) at the westward finish of Alameda Island, Southshore along the southern side of Alameda Island, and Bay Subcontract Island, which is part of the mainland proper.

The expanse of the former NAS is at present known as "Alameda Betoken." The Southshore area is separated from the main office of Alameda Island by a lagoon; the north shore of the lagoon is located approximately where the original south shore of the island was. Alameda Point and Southshore are built on bay fill up.

Not all of Alameda Island is function of the Metropolis of Alameda; a small portion of a dump site due west of the former runway at Alameda Naval Air Station extends far enough into San Francisco Bay that it is over the county line and therefore office of the City and County of San Francisco.^[29]

Coast Guard Island, a small isle between Alameda Isle and Oakland, is also part of Alameda and is the home of Integrated Support Command Alameda.^[30]
