At that time, the area was primarily farmland, with small wharfs and open space. Currently, the population is 124,321, and the number of people of Hispanic ancestry is 6,809. The city has a diverse mix of cultures and ethnicities, making it an ideal place to raise a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campus of the College of California was purchased in the mid-1860s. Frederick Billings, who had admired the view toward the Golden Gate, wrote a poem about the view. The Trustees decided that the name of the new campus and town would be appropriate for a thriving campus. George Berkeley was an Irish-born mathematician, writer, reformer, and cleric who shaped American culture. His philosophy of immaterialism is the basis for much of what makes Berkeley a unique city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students at the University of California, Berkeley are encouraged to engage in debate and discussion, and to read a variety of publications. The Berkeley Political Review is a nonpartisan publication that features articles on politics and economics. The &#8220;Everything Magazine&#8221; Caliber produces is a non-partisan &#8220;everything&#8221; publication, and B-Side is a music magazine. The political magazines California Patriot and Smart Ass are liberal and conservative, respectively. Among the clubs at the University of the West, ImagiCal is a student organization that competes each year in the National Student Advertising Competition. Each team presents a marketing case for a corporate sponsor, and each finalist is awarded a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Berkeley alumni list is impressive. More than 114 Nobel laureates, 30 Turing Award winners, and 14 Fields Medalists were a part of Berkeley&#8217;s alumni list. Other notable Berkeley alums include 103 MacArthur Fellows, five foreign heads of state, many members of Congress, and 40 billionaires. In recent years, hippie culture has become part of the everyday life of the city. This has led to increased diversity in the area and helped the community develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The university of Berkeley has a rich history. The University of California is located in Alameda County, and is situated on the shore of San Francisco Bay. The Golden Gate is the city&#8217;s famous skyline. The city&#8217;s distinctive architecture and upscale neighborhoods are known worldwide. The college campus is one of the most important in California. With its prestigious university, students are attracted to the city&#8217;s diverse culture. In addition to the university, it is home to several museums and galleries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the academic reputation, Berkeley also boasts a diverse ethnic and cultural history. The city was originally inhabited by the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people. The Verona Band of Alameda County has since been dissolved. Today, the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe lives and thrives in Berkeley. Its name means &#8216;people of the people&#8217;. It has a rich cultural heritage and was occupied by the Ohlones for many centuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The city of Berkeley was founded in 1855 as part of Contra Costa County, now Alameda County.
