  • Alameda, a Geographical History, by Imelda Merlin
    Alameda A Geographical History by Imelda Merlin Friends of the Alameda Free Library Alameda Museum Alameda, California 1 Copyright, 1977 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 77-73071 Cover picture: Fernside Oaks, Cohen Estate, ca. 1900. 2 FOREWORD My initial purpose in writing this book was to satisfy a partial requirement for a Master’s Degree in Geography from the University of California in Berkeley. But, fortunate is the student who enjoys the subject of his research. This slim volume is essentially the original manuscript, except for minor changes in the interest of greater accuracy, which was approved in 1964 by Drs. James Parsons, Gunther Barth and the late Carl Sauer. That it is being published now, perhaps as a response to a new awareness of and interest in our past, is due to the efforts of the “Friends of the Alameda Free Library” who have made a project of getting my thesis into print. I wish to thank the members of this organization and all others, whose continued interest and perseverance have made this publication possible. Imelda Merlin April, 1977 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writer wishes to acknowledge her indebtedness to the many individuals and institutions who gave substantial assistance in assembling much of the material treated in this thesis. Particular thanks are due to Dr. Clarence J. Glacken for suggesting the topic. The writer also greatly appreciates the interest and support rendered by the staff of the Alameda Free Library, especially Mrs. Hendrine Kleinjan, reference librarian, and Mrs. Myrtle Richards, curator of the Alameda Historical Society. The Engineers’ and other departments at the Alameda City Hall supplied valuable maps an information on the historical development of the city.

She was my second celebrity encounter since moving back to Northern California last year, the first being a certain celebrity chef cutting me off on Highway 12. I later learned that Ms. Hedren’s appearance is an annual tradition, and that some of the money she makes from it goes to support her extensive charity work. Though I’ve never seen the film in its entirety, I learned the story through multiple trips to the restaurant and the Saint Teresa of Avila Church in Bodega. Even I, who spent the majority of my life in Middle Tennessee, feel local pride knowing these beautiful places are immortalized in such a loved and influential film.

SUMMARY The Strategic Planning Division of CEDA and its team of consultants developing a Specific Plan and EIR for the Central Estuary area have completed concepts for the Plan Area and would like to solicit from the LPAB preliminary input on proposals related to land use and transportation concepts to be used as a basis for developing the Specific Plan. By changing allowable land uses, instituting development standards and guidelines, and identifying priorities and potential funding sources for public improvements, upon its adoption the Plan could increase or decrease the likelihood of redevelopment of parcels that contain historic resources. The Central Estuary Plan Area is generally encompassed by 19th Ave. to the north, 54th Ave. to the south, I-880 to the east and the Oakland Estuary to the west.
