"Cherryland" is located at Meek Park in Cherryland.
Cherryland is a 1.2 sq mile unicorporated area of Alameda County generally between Hayward and San Leandro. There used to be vast orchards of fruit and nut trees belonging to the "First Farmer" of Alameda County, William Meek. Cherryland is bordered by Mission, Lewelling, A Street and Meekland. There are accounts that the Bing Cherry originated here, named after a Chinese cook or foreman-Ah Bing. There remains a Cherryland Park, Cherryland Elementary School and Cherry Way.
