The Berkeley Hills are a part of the East Bay Hills, a range of the Pacific Coast Ranges, and overlook the northeast side of the valley that encompasses San Francisco Bay. They were previously called the "Contra Costa Range/Hills"[2][3] (from the original Spanish Sierra de la Contra Costa), but with the establishment of Berkeley and the University of California, the current usage was applied by geographers and gazetteers. The Berkeley Hills are included as part of the Diablo Range in the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System list of GPS coordinates for the latter.[4]
