    • Temescal is an urban neighborhood of tremendous diversity and history. Its array of ethnicities, businesses, and architecture have drawn students, artists, and young families since the 1980s. Located half way between the downtowns of Berkeley and Oakland, between the Bay and the hills, Temescal is at the cross roads of North Oakland.The history of the neighborhood goes back to the Spanish land grants of the late-18th century. Vicente Peralta built his adobe near Temescal Creek, named for the Ohlone sweatlodges in the area. Subdivision of Peralta's land began in the 1860s, as migrants came and industry boomed-including the world's largest cannery and a large quarry. European immigrants poured into the neighborhood between the 1880s and 1920s, especially Northern Italians from Liguria who made Temescal Oakland's Little Italy until the 1970s. Depression hit the area in the 1960s and '70s, but investment over the past 15-plus years has transformed Temescal into a haven of attractive homes and ethnic plurality.19th century Victorian and Neo-Colonial homes are mixed with numerous Craftsman bungalows of the 1920s and '30s. Apartment buildings are plentiful along major streets, and, in general, the neighborhood has a moderately high density.Telegraph and Broadway are the main retail strips in the neighborhood itself, but College and Piedmont Avenues are close-by. MacArthur BART is at the neighborhood's southwest and Mosswood Park lies to the southeast.
