Facts about the city

Emeryville is a small city in Alameda County, California, in the United States. It is located in a corridor between the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, extending to the shore of San Francisco Bay. Its proximity to San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, the University of California, Berkeley, and Silicon Valley has been a catalyst for recent economic growth. It is home to Pixar Animation Studios, Peet's Coffee & Tea, Jamba Juice, The Center for Investigative Reporting and Clif Bar. In addition, several well known biotech and software companies have made their home in Emeryville: Electronic Arts' Maxis Software division, LeapFrog, Sendmail, MobiTV, Novartis (formerly Chiron before April 2006), and BigFix (now IBM). The population was 10,080 as of 2010, although it swells considerably on weekdays due to the city's position as a regional employment center. Emeryville has some features of an edge city; however, it is located within the inner urban core of the Oakland/greater East Bay and was heavily industrialized before the First World War.

History

The handling of cattle continued into the American era with the establishment of numerous meat packing plants along the bayshore in Emeryville between 67^th and 63^rd Streets in an area called "Butchertown". A trotting park (the Oakland Trotting Park) was built nearby at the junction of the Berkeley Branch Railroad Branch line with the mainline of the Southern Pacific. It was demolished for safety reasons shortly thereafter. On February 22 1920 the first dog race track to employ an imitation rabbit opened in Emeryville. Madison Marquette developers worked with archaeologists and Ohlone tribe representatives in order to leave the human remains undisturbed.
