Country: United States of America With 124,321 residents counted in the 2020 census, Berkeley brings a lively urban feel to the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay. The California city takes its name from George Berkeley, an 18th-century Anglo-Irish bishop and philosopher, and shares borders with Oakland, Emeryville, Albany, and Kensington. To the east, the Berkeley Hills generally mark its boundary with Contra Costa County.
