Oakley

Oakley is one of California’s newest cities. Oakley's motto, “A Place for Families in the Heart of the Delta,” fits this beautiful area perfectly.   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.

Oakley became Contra Costa's newest city on July 1, 1999. Oakley is dedicated to serving the people, the land, the growth of industry with respect and commitment to the family and the well being of economic investment.

The City of Oakley---a community looking both ways---back, in honor of its agricultural roots and small town history, and ahead, towards development and opportunity.  In Oakley, there is a great availability of affordable housing, and the delta waterways have an almost unlimited variety of outdoor activities.
