Piedmont is a separate incorporated city entirely enclaved by Oakland, so despite sitting inside Oakland's borders it runs its own municipal government and, since becoming a charter city in 1922, its own charter. ## What Piedmont does to an appliance. Voters chose incorporation by a narrow margin in two 1907 elections rather than let Piedmont become an Oakland neighborhood. The city's grand Sea View Avenue and Sotelo Avenue mansions, from its 1920s "City of Millionaires" era, still stand today.
