The Spanish colonized the Bay in the 1700s and you can see the influence in architecture and naming conventions used throughout the city. In the 1920s, Oakland’s population expanded greatly thanks to an influx of factory and manufacturing jobs, which led to an increase in era-appropriate office buildings, apartment buildings, and single-family homes that are still standing today.
