Known in the 1920's as the "City of Millionaires," Piedmont is a small city, only 1.8 square miles, of grand homes. Although Piedmont is located within the city of Oakland, it incorporated in 1907 and has its own city government and school district. Many of the beautiful homes of Piedmont are historically and architecturally significant. In the early, 1900's, the hills of Piedmont were home to Jack London, Xavier Martinez and George Sterling, among others. The Oakland Heritage Alliance sponsors walking tours through Piedmont, and Piedmont homes are regularly featured on bennefit tours for local schools and other non-profits. The Piedmont Unified School District is composed of three elementary schools, one middle school, two high schools and one adult school. The school district has always been very well regarded, with consistently high test scores. In short, Piedmont is a lovely town, with beautiful parks, handsome homes and a quiet and elegant atmosphere. |
