Notes
  • Significance: Oakland Army Base served in an important capacity during the Second World War (1941-1945), and is therefore eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A, representing broad patterns of American history, at the local, state and national levels of significance. According to the U.S. Army, it was "the only complete Army post installation in the nation set up with rail marshalling yards, huge warehouses, waterside transit sheds, and piers capable of handling the largest transport cargo ships, supported by shops, a complete rail system linking the entire operation, administrative and service buildings, a dry dock for handling smaller boats and ships, and temporary quarters for housing troops. It also served as the port's disposition center, through which moved all military personnel returning from overseas assignments."
