HISTORY

Steeped in maritime lore, Jack London Square is one of Oakland’s most identifiable landmarks and a symbol of the city’s history as a seaport. Fronting a natural estuary leading to San Francisco Bay, the site was the heart of Oakland’s port operations, linking the industries of shipping and agriculture. Jack London (January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American author who spent much of his boyhood on the waterfront that is now Jack London Square. His youthful adventures on property, inspired many of his publications.
