What Does It Mean to Live In an Unincorporated Area?
Alameda is the second most populous county in the Bay Area, after Santa Clara. Oakland is the biggest city, but the county stretches all the way out to Livermore in the east and Fremont in the south.

Bay Curious listener Sam Hopkins wondered what it means for an area to be unincorporated and the history of these two communities.
