City of Oakley

The City of Oakley, incorporated in July 1999, is one of California's youngest cities. Residents enjoy a charming area with an abundant housing supply, quality schools, and a friendly atmosphere that truly make Oakley, "A Place for Families in the Heart of the Delta."

Today a landscape of gently rolling fields, orchards, and vineyards gives us a glimpse of Oakley's agricultural past. From a quiet Delta farming town, Oakley has blossomed into a growing community of landscaped parks, abundant recreational opportunities, shopping centers, and planned business and commercial development.

Oakley's residents enjoy a progressive community that is rich in history, supports strong family values, and offers a high quality of life. Our residents take pride in being a part of a City that is building a prosperous future for generations to come.
