The City of Oakley is in its infancy, though Oakley’s bountiful agricultural community has a rich and interesting history. Only an hour’s drive from San Francisco, Oakley is situated in East Contra Costa County along the picturesque California Delta, a fishing and boating paradise. Oakley’s gently rolling hills are crisscrossed by country lanes and patch-worked with vineyards and orchards—though new schools and neighborhoods now share what was once a farming landscape.
The City’s leadership is working to maintain Oakley’s small town character while strongly encouraging the development of new industries to employ the growing local workforce.
