Alameda
County was formed on March 25, 1853 from a large portion of
Contra Costa County and a smaller portion of Santa Clara County.
The county seat was first located at Alvarado; it was moved to
San Leandro in 1856 where the county courthouse was destroyed by
the devastating 1868 earthquake. The county seat was then
re-established in the town of Brooklyn from 1872-1875. Brooklyn
is now part of Oakland, which has been the county seat since
1873. See Map of Alameda
