Clearlake Oaks is a census-designated place (CDP) in Lake County, California, United States.[2] It is located on the northeast of Clear Lake, 8 miles (13.8 km) northwest of the town of Clearlake, at an elevation of 1,335 feet (407 m).[2] The population was 2,551 at the 2020 census, up from 2,359 at the 2010 census.
History
The community was formerly named Stubbs and Clear Lake Oaks.
The site of the original town, inland of State Route 20, was subdivided by the 1920s. Situated in a broad canyon mouth, the original town site is about 4 blocks long and 3 deep, triangular in shape, with a plaza site in its center. Today the plaza is paved and used for parking by the church located along the west side. Most of the homes in the village remain true to their "fishing cottage" roots.
The Stubbs post office opened in 1926, and changed its name to Clearlake Oaks in 1935.[3] The name Stubbs honored Charles Stubbs, a local landowner.[3] The relocation of the post office, the aging population, and the coming of Wal-Mart have combined to kill the "downtown". In 1990, there were two markets, a chain hardware store, two gas stations, video store, salon, and several restaurants and bars. A privately operated marina had fish and ski boats for rent. But by the late nineties, Clearlake Oaks was down to one market, one convenience store, and a struggling antique store.
The park, beach, and pier were refurbished a few years back. As of 2007, the property next to the grocery store was being cleared and turned into a park, called Nylander Park after the owner of the local grocery store.
