Emeryville, California

Emeryville is a small city in northwestern Alameda County, California, lying in a corridor between Berkeley and Oakland with a shoreline on San Francisco Bay. It was incorporated as a town on 2 December 1896 and takes its name from Joseph Stickney Emery, who arrived during the Gold Rush and acquired large tracts of land there. The area was industrialized before the First World War. Its closeness to San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, the University of California, Berkeley, and Silicon Valley has driven recent growth, and it is home to Pixar Animation Studios and several technology firms. The resident population was 12,905 in 2020.
