Emeryville History
Prior to being colonized by Spain in 1776, Emeryville and the surrounding area was the site of extensive Native American settlements. The area was rich with resources including mudflats and rocky terrain that provided clams and oysters for the indigenous people who lived here. It was the disposal of the clam and oyster shells, by the Ohlone, in one particular location, that created the Emeryville shellmound.
During the Spanish and Mexican era (1760's-1840's), the handling of cattle became the main industry in town. This industry continued to heavily dominate well into the American era (1840's-1890's). Emeryville was named after Joseph Stickney Emery, who came to Emeryville during the gold rush, and acquired large tracts of land that became known as "Emery's" In the late 19th century a large park was built around the shellmound, including two dance floors, one on top of shellmound. Emeryville was known for it's gambling houses and bordellos, as well as its thriving industrial sector.
By the 1990's the old Sante Fe and Key system yard tracts were turned into shopping and residential units, as was shellmound corridor. By 2001 Bay Street Shopping Center was built on the former site of an Ohlone village and burial ground. This Center is an excellent example of the future of most cities of smaller size, with its powerful mixed use format. It houses 65 upscale stores, 10 restaurants, 16 motion picture screens, and 400 residential units.
