KANAKA ROW of San Leandro boundaries were: Pacific Street to
the west, Alvarado Street to the east, Davis Street to the north, and Williams
Street to the south. Kanaka Row derived its name from the nickname established
Portuguese gave to Portuguese settlers from Hawaii. The other Portuguese
enclave in San Leandro, Dutton Avenue, also known as Chicken Lane, is pictured c.
1890. Portuguese immigrants along Chicken Lane thriving chicken farms.
Portuguese women often served their own chickens for dinner and crocheted to
let down at night. Their hobby was also practical; many Portuguese women made
tablecloths and other lace items to give as presents. #KanakaRow #KanakaLane #ChickenLane

"The
historical-architectural value of these properties lies in their combination as
a "period neighborhood." The area was settled and built by Portuguese
immigrants. The sign reads "Orchard Avenue" but many know this street
as "Kanaka Lane" or "Little Portugal." The names recall the
settlers, who came from the Azores (Western Islands), the Sandwich Islands
(Hawaii), and Portugal. San Leandro is infinitely richer for its Portuguese
heritage. The people form a close-knit community. Family ties, religious
beliefs, common language, and valued traditions are respected and honored. Like
other ethnic groups, today's Portuguese strive to preserve their proud heritage
despite great population shifts and ever-growing assimilation. The house is named “The Old Lamplighters”
house for the first owner in 1871. It is
a marked historical house."(SLBytes)
Their manager rocks! Thanks to their great team, I'm so happy I choose this venue for my event! I had a great time at venues for events and think the atmosphere is as good as it gets. I will be astonished if I ever find a negative review on these guys.
