History of Oakley
Oakley was first settled in 1897 by R.C. Marsh in the area east of Antioch, CA and north of Brentwood CA. In 1898 March was named the first Post Master.
Settler's came to the area, but many people ridiculed the area as "Sand Lappers" due to the sandy soil. It was felt nothing could grow in the area. The critics were proved wrong as the area developed a strong agricultural reputation with abundant growth of fruits and vegetables. In the 1950's Oakley was the leading grower of almonds in California and still has an annual Almond Festival.
With the growth of East Contra Costa County Oakley gradually became a bedroom community; but still having a strong agricultural core. Oakley was incorporated as a city on July 1, 1999 and is one of East Contra Costa Counties finest communities.
