Mulford Landing is a neighborhood in San Leandro in Alameda County, California. Originally known as Wicks Landing, the landing at San Leandro was founded in 1853 by Moses Wicks, Thomas W. Mulford, Eliphalet M. Smith, and William Smith. They made a living by selling wildfowl, which was trapped in the Rancho San Leandro and transported from their landing across the Bay to San Francisco. Mulford, who had come to California in 1849, bought the others out in 1868.The Mulford station on the South Pacific Coast railway line between Alameda Point and Newark took its original name from this. It was later renamed the West San Leandro station when the Southern Pacific Railroad Company bought the line in 1887.Thomas W. Mulford also leased from José Joaquín Estudillo, and eventually owned, a farm named Shore Acres; had an oyster fishery; and was the manager of a hotel and restaurant in San Leandro, Estudillo House built in 1855. The farm lost all of its livestock as a result of a mass slaughter to stem hoof-and-mouth disease in 1924, and the farmland, which had been in Mulford family hands until that time, was sold in 1927 to form a subdivision, named Mulford Gardens. In 1957, this subdivision was then incorporated into San Leandro.

The San Leandro Oyster Beds in San Leandro, California, were the origin of the oyster industry in the U.S. state of California. During the 1890s, the oyster industry thrived until it became the single most important fishery in the state. According to the description provided by the California Office of Historic Preservation, Moses Wicks is supposed to have been the first to bring seed oysters around Cape Horn and implant them in the San Leandro beds. The oyster industry in San Francisco Bay was at its height around the turn of the 20th century. It reached a secondary peak by 1911 and then faded away because of polluted conditions of the bay.The former site of the oyster beds was named a California Historical Landmark (#824) and is located in the San Leandro Marina. The historical marker has been stolen but the mounting holes remain in a large mosaic depicting oyster harvesting early in the 1900s. A photograph of the site is available online. It shows the curved mosaic mural and the space where the historical marker was formerly located.

Brookfield Village is an Oakland, California neighborhood located in East Oakland near Oakland International Airport. The main streets are 98th Avenue and Edes Avenue.

It was one of the first suburban style tract house developments in Oakland. Brookfield Village was developed by Albert Bernhardt and the Stoneon Brothers; a subdivision of over 1200 homes that featured winding, contoured streets lined with shade trees.

Sobrante Park is a neighborhood located in East Oakland, California, which is partially separated from the rest of the city by two railroad tracks and San Leandro Creek. It was built shortly after World War II, first as a White-Only Lockout and then gradually becoming a White flight red-zone in the mid to late 1950s, and in the early 1960s it became a working-class black neighborhood. It was projected by planners that there would be no in-road into San Leandro's Davis St. residential area which was developed during the same period. In the 1980s the neighborhood became a center of crack cocaine dealing. A large gang from the neighborhood gave itself the nickname, "11-5" (or "11-500") which refers to the section of California State's legal code for drug crimes. A memorial to 32 men and six women members of the gang who have been killed since then (as of 2002) was painted on the basketball court in Tyrone Carney Park, a local park named after a young man from the neighborhood who died in the Vietnam war. The city installed a fence around the park in an attempt to reduce the murders and drug dealing that had been taking place in and around the park. Sobrante Park is a mostly African-American and Latino neighborhood, with African-Americans forming 53.5%, and Latinos forming about 38%[1]. Sobrante Park and the informally named "Ghost Town" have been two of the most crime-ridden areas on Oakland. Recently, the Alameda County Department of Health, local organizations, and community members established a Time Bank project for the neighborhood in order to facilitate skill sharing among residents, rebuild trust, and revitalize the community of Sobrante Park.
