City

Piedmont, California

Northern America

Piedmont is a small residential city in Alameda County, California, United States, completely surrounded by the city of Oakland. Its population was 11,270 at the 2020 census and its land area is about 4.4 square kilometres. The name comes from the Italian region of Piedmont and means foothill. Residents voted to incorporate as a separate city in 1907 rather than join Oakland, and it was developed significantly in the 1920s and 1930s, when it was nicknamed the City of Millionaires. It became a charter city on December 18, 1922. The city also has a documented history of racial exclusion, including the 1924 mob action against the Dearing family.
