Oakley, California

The City of Oakley is in its infancy, though Oakley's bountiful agricultural community has a rich and interesting history. Only an hour's drive from San Francisco, Oakley is situated in East Contra Costa County along the picturesque California Delta, a fishing and boating paradise. Oakley's gently rolling hills are crisscrossed by country lanes and patch-worked with vineyards and orchards---though new schools and neighborhoods now share what was once a farming landscape. The City's leadership is working to maintain Oakley's small town character while strongly encouraging the development of new industries to employ the growing local workforce.

In November of 1998, local voters approved Oakley's incorporation and so created the City of Oakley, which became Contra Costa's newest city on July 1, 1999. Oakley is dedicated to serving the people, the land, the growth of industry with respect and commitment to the family and the well being of economic investment.

The City of Oakley---a community looking both ways---back, in honor of its agricultural roots and small town history, and ahead, towards development and opportunity.
