OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA
Oakland, third largest city in California on the mainland side of the San Francisco Bay, is connected with the Peninsula City of San Francisco by the 84-mile San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The name, Oakland, was suggested by the grove of oaks in which the first homes were built.
