Alameda Postcard History
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
In the past, Alameda was a peninsula with grassy fields and sandy beaches, separated from Oakland by a winding estuary. In 1902, a tidal canal transformed Alameda into an island, with its waterfront soon becoming a prominent shipping port. The bay-windowed commercial buildings along Park Street overlooked a thriving city filled with streetcars and cozy homes.
During the period between the two world wars, Alameda's Neptune Beach resort and amusement park gained popularity, earning the nickname "Coney Island of the West." The park featured attractions such as a Moorish entrance tower on Webster Street, a stadium, two swimming pools, a high dive, and a roller coaster known as the "Whoopie."
Due to its strategic location, Alameda's "airdrome" was the busiest in the world during the 1930s. This led to the establishment of a U.S. Coast Guard base on Government Island and the Alameda Naval Air Station.
