History of the Laurel District

Curious about the history of the Laurel? Long-time Laurel District resident and East Bay historian Dennis Evanosky has written a history of the neighborhood.  See more on the Laurel and local history at Evanosky's website.

Another website that has rich Oakland history content is the Oakland Collection, an online exhibit of the Oakland Museum of California.  Take a look at the Time Traveler panoramas or check out early photos of some of the neighborhoods.
