The California Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind was established in 1860 and was first located in San Francisco. It moved into new buildings in 1869, in an area north of Oakland that would later become Berkeley. The school's name was changed to the California Institution for the Deaf and Blind in 1906. In 1914, it became the California School for the Deaf and Blind. The California School for the Blind became a separate school through legislation passed in 1921. It relocated to Fremont, CA in 1980.
