This 1887 map labels the entire peninsula “City of Alameda.” The city was incorporated in 1872 by combining the three towns of Alameda (1), founded in 1852; Encinal (2), founded in 1854 and Woodstock (3), founded in 1864. Note that the city is still a peninsula. The estuary that created the Island City was cut through in 1902.
