The Adams Point District of Oakland is situated in a hilly area on the north side of Lake Merritt. It was named after a point of land extending into Lake Merritt that was itself named after one of Oakland's earliest settlers, Edson Adams. The district is adjacent to Oakland's Lakes District and Downtown District and it is connected to downtown Oakland by Grand Avenue. The Adams Point District is generally considered to be bounded by Grand Avenue, Harris Street, and the MacArthur Freeway.
