The Spanish town - 1 mi from
the house is this rich blend of the Hispanic cultures with shops, restaurants, music and festivities all year round.
Short history of Fruitvale
During the 1950’s and 1960’s era of “urban renewal,” (the construction of BART and the Nimitz Freeway), countless African-Americans and Latinx were displaced out of West Oakland and into East Oakland, with Fruitvale being one of the neighborhoods where they were relocated. Before Latinx migrated out of West Oakland and into Fruitvale, the community was primarily inhabited by German, Portuguese, and Irish families. One of the oldest Latinx businesses in Fruitvale is the hardware and camping store, Bonanza which has been opened for over 53 years. The 87-year-old matriarch of the shop, Helen Slape and her family were one of the first to move into the neighborhood.
