Alameda County is bordered by the San Francisco Bay on the west, while Berkeley Hills serve as the northeastern boundary and the eastern boundary is Livermore Valley. Alameda County was created 1853, from two other counties, Contra Costa and Santa Clara. The name “Alameda” comes from the Spanish word meaning “a place where poplar trees grow”. Willow and sycamore trees lined the banks of rivers in the area reminding early explorers of other roads lined with trees known as “alamedas”. Land in the area originally belonging to Native Americans became the possession of the Spanish. Subsequently, the land became Mexican ranches, transitioning later to farms and orchards. Much of Alameda County began to developed as the trolley car became available as a means of transport. The county grew as a suburb of San Francisco in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Today, Alameda County is an area with multiple thriving city centers and suburbs.
