Oakland
Oakland is the largest city of Alameda County, California. The Port of Oakland is the busiest port in Northern California, and the fifth busiest in the United States of America.
In the late 1860s, Oakland was selected as the western terminal of the Transcontinental Railroad. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, many San Francisco citizens moved to Oakland, enlarging the population, increasing its housing stock, and improving its infrastructure. It continued to grow in the 20th century with its busy port, shipyards, and a thriving automobile manufacturing industry.
In 2016, after realising that Wakanda's technology could assist the world, King T'Challa established the Wakandan Outreach and Education Centre in Oakland.
