Alameda County is a county in the U.S. state of California. It occupies most of the East
Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. As of the 2000 census it had a population of
1,443,741 making it the 7th largest county in the state. The county seat is Oakland.
Alameda County currently has the highest sales tax rate in California, which is 8.75%.
The county was formed on March 25, 1853 from a large portion of Contra Costa County
and a smaller portion of Santa Clara County.
The word 'alameda' means 'a place where poplar trees grow', a name which originally
was given to the Arroyo de la Alameda (Poplar Grove Creek). The willow and sycamore
trees along the banks of the river reminded the early explorers of a road lined with trees,
also known as an 'alameda'.
