Neighborhood History

Founded around 1962 as part of postwar redevelopment, the community grew as a hub anchored by the resilience of its residents and the legacy of McClymonds High School. Our Acorn collection honors this deep West Oakland pride and the neighborhood's enduring spirit of revitalization.
