There is no city of Piedmont.

There certainly is a city named Piedmont. I've lived in it for a long time.

This view of Arroyo Ave. is in the City of Piedmont, not Oakland.

Tom is correct there is a City of Piedmont and it is completely surrounded by Oakland. I’m from Oakland and now live in Alameda so I can attest to this first hand.

My parents are buried in Piedmont, so there had better be!

I grew up in Piedmont on Cambridge Way, a couple of blocks from Latham Street. I can remember playing on the abandoned tracks between Cambridge Way and Arroyo.

I lived in Piedmont for years. I knew little of the Key until only a few years ago. As a kid this is where the Soap Box Derby was held until it was cancelled. I don't know when that was but my brother and I were in it once. The start was at the top in the distance.

This photo could have been taken from the home my parents owned from 1951 to 1998. They lived at 1693 Grand Ave., right where Arroyo ended. There are many photos taken from this vantage point, and some taken in the reverse direction although I have yet to find one showing our home.

There is a city of Piedmont, they have their own police department...however, Montclair is a district of Oakland, perhaps that's your confusion.
