Auto Transport to and from Oakland
Oakland is a city in and the county seat of Alameda County, and with a population of over 400,000 it is the 8th largest city in the state of California and the 44th largest in the United States. It is separated from San Francisco by the San Francisco Bay, and lies only eight miles east of its larger neighbor.
It was founded in 1772 by Spanish conquistadors, though the city that it became ended up being split into two separate cities and, ultimately, the entire area was ceded to the United States in 1848. The city became a regional powerhouse and grew quickly, thanks mainly to its proximity to San Francisco, and during the 20th century was known for its large industrial sector. During the early 1970′s, however, the city’s infrastructure began to crumble as citizens moved to outlying suburbs, though today the city is in the midst of a huge urban renewal project, which is helping revitalize the struggling downtown area.
During the summer months, Oakland’s temperatures typically hit around 80 degrees during the day, with lows often dropping to around 62 degrees overnight. During the winter, however, temperatures get a bit cooler, with highs topping out around 55 degrees during the day and lows often dropping to around 43 degrees overnight.
