Alameda County, California was founded in 1853. The name “Alameda” in Spanish means “tree lined street.” The area was named because the river reminded explorers of tree-lined streets in Spain. The city of Oakland was established as the county seat in 1873.
Alameda County mesothelioma lawsuits are handled in the Alameda County civil court system. The civil courts are located throughout the county. There are three civil court locations in Oakland, and additional civil courts in the cities of Alameda and Hayward. Mesothelioma lawsuits are designated complex litigation and are handled in the court’s dedicated Asbestos Department, in the main Oakland courthouse.
