According to the Centennial Record of the University of California, "In 1866...at Founders' Rock, a group of College of California men were watching two ships standing out to sea through the Golden Gate. One of them, Frederick Billings, was reminded of the lines of Bishop Berkeley, 'westward the course of empire takes its way,' and suggested that the town and college site be named for the eighteenth-century British philosopher and poet." In 1873, Governor Newton Booth declared Berkeley to be the "Athens of the West".

The University of California first operated in Berkeley in 1872. Much of Berkeley's economy, status, and reputation has long derived from its relationship with the institution.

At the geographic midpoint of the Greater Bay Area, Berkeley is 12 miles from San Francisco and close to population centers in Contra Costa County and the Silicon Valley. Nestled between the Berkeley hills and the San Francisco Bay, the Berkeley community is internationally renowned for research, education and culture.

Few places are as conveniently located for the business person. With two major interstate highways and a transcontinental rail line passing through the city limits, two major international airports close by, and three principal shipping ports to the Pacific rim and beyond as neighbors, Berkeley's location is as desireable as it is accessible.
