Archeologists in the Oakley region have discovered prehistoric sites. Early in the 20th century, a significant shell mound was found close what is now the city’s east edge. The California Historical Resources Information System’s Northwest Information Center now keeps track of archeological research in Oakley. Over the previous 25 years, approximately three dozen such projects have been finished, yielding only four prehistoric sites in the town. The data center thinks, however, that there is a strong chance that other prehistoric sites will stay within the town.
