In 1853 our town was called Ocean View. Brand new Alameda County was casting off the cloak of Spanish times and its newcomers were already marshaling the resources of this land of promise. In 1866, the town became Berkeley. The county seat of Alameda County was at San Leandro, Oakland was the center of an agricultural community, Alameda and East Oakland were thriving towns. The railroads were coming, roads were being built, and Mills College had been established. Alameda County was already beginning to show the trend of development toward its great future. Today a city of over 107,000, Berkeley has worldwide recognition. The University of California and Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are the city's largest employers. Among cultural and recreational businesses, Berkeley has 32 movie screens, 31 bookstores and 414 restaurants. Its 608 business services firms include many in computer software, engineering and architecture.
