Peralta Hacienda
Begun in 1821
The first known inhabitants of Fruitvale were the Ohlone. In 1820 the Spanish crown gave this land to Luis Peralta, making Peralta Hacienda the first non-native settlement in Oakland.
From 1820 to 1897, the family had a rancho at this site. Until the 1850’s it stretched from El Cerrito to San Leandro.
Antonio Peralta built the adobes, living with his first wife, Maria Antonio Galindo, and later his second wife, Maria Dolores Archuleta. He built the surviving house after being widowed in 1870.
Marker can be reached from 34th Avenue near Hyde Street.
