Like San Francisco, Oakland grew rapidly in the years after the 1849 gold rush. The city boomed with the advent of railroads, automobile factories, and the aviation industry. As these endeavors flourished, Oakland drew in African-American migrants from the Deep South and immigrants from as far away as Asia. The result is a city diverse in culture, tradition, and foods. Explore the history of Oakland and its downtown parks with the Walking the Invisible City public tour. Markers throughout the tour inform visitors about important sites and events.
