Building with sign "Public School." Berkeley’s first school, Ocean View School, was built in 1865, several years before the City of Berkeley was born in 1878 and before UC relocated from its Oakland birthplace to its Berkeley home in 1873. The school, after which nearby Schoolhouse Creek is named, was located at the southeast corner of Virginia St. and Contra Costa Road (now San Pablo Ave.). It later became part of the now-closed Franklin Elementary School.
