Town of Oakland

Oakland, established in 1887, is one of the oldest municipalities in Orange County. In fact, we are celebrating our 125th Anniversary this year. Years ago we were a major center of commerce with a thriving downtown that boasted an opera house and a number of commercial establishments. Unfortunately, due to fires the downtown was decimated and never rebuilt. Today, we are a diverse, thriving and growing small community noted for our laid-back lifestyle and majestic oak trees. We operate under a Commission/Manager form of local government with a Mayor, Kathy Stark and four Commissioners elected at-large.
