History
Established in 1890.

The central depot for the first railroad linking California to the eastern states arrived in Oakland on November 8, 1869 at Broadway and 7th Street. Hotels, restaurants, barber shops, drug stores and other services for travelers sprang up in the surrounding streets and what we now refer to as ‘Old Oakland’ became one of the most dynamic and diverse neighborhoods in Oakland. Among these businesses was the founding of the ‘Oakland Free Market’ in 1890, the predecessor of todays Swan’s Market. Over 150 years later the market still maintains its’ sense of history and has been returned to a modernized version of its’ former glory as a showcase for some of the best food and wine in the Bay Area.
