Fact text

  • Oakley's name was decided by a cribbage game, the loser wanted to call it 'Dewey' after a Spanish-American War admiral.
  • The founding father who lost that cribbage match got his revenge by naming downtown streets so their first letters spelled out 'MARSH.'
  • Nearly 80 percent of Oakley's vineyards are planted in Zinfandel, making it a surprisingly grape-obsessed corner of the Bay Area.
  • Oakley didn't become an official city until 1999, making it the youngest incorporated city in Contra Costa County.
