Located in northern California is one of the country’s largest regions, the Bay Area, home to a number of Bay Area hoods in the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, Richmond, Vallejo, San Jose, Antioch, Pittsburg, and Hayward.

Bay Area Hoods: Oakland
The city of Oakland, also known as “The Town,” is the most recognizable among all the cities in the Bay Area. It is divided into three sections: West Oakland, which includes Acorn Projects, Ghost Town, and Dog Town; North Oakland, also called Ice City; and East Oakland, stretching from Funk Town to Deep East Oakland’s 100s.
Bay Area Hoods: San Francisco
San Francisco, despite undergoing significant gentrification, still has some of the most historic neighborhoods in California. These include the Mission District, which is one of the largest and most well-known Latino neighborhoods in Northern California, as well as the iconic sections of Fillmore and Hunters Point. Additionally, there are smaller neighborhoods and housing projects located throughout the city.
Bay Area Hoods: Richmond
Richmond, also known as Richtown or Richmen, has long been overshadowed by bigger and more well-known cities in the Bay Area. However, despite its size, the city has a rich history, with notable contributions to the region’s music and culture. Regardless of whether you’re in North Richmond, South Richmond, or Central Richmond, the city has been home to some of the Bay Area’s first and most talented rappers, as well as some of the region’s first black communities. It has also produced many legends and icons that have left a lasting impact on the city and beyond.
Bay Area Hoods: Vallejo
Vallejo, a small city in the Bay Area, gained popularity through its association with hip hop icons E-40 and Mac Dre. It is known for its famous neighborhoods, including Magazine Street, Hillside, and Crest Side.
Bay Area Hoods: San Jose
While to the black community the main cities have been San Francisco, Oakland, Richmond, Vallejo, and even Pittsburg, Hayward, and East Palo Alto, but San Jose is home to the largest Hispanic population in the Bay Area. More is to come on the map about San Jose, but the city is known for areas like Story and King and its strong Hispanic culture.
The Bay Area mainly got peckerwoods, not skinheads. A lotta these woods aren’t really racist but they still gotta follow AB politics.
The only white gang I’ve heard of from the Bay Area was Family Affiliated Irish Mafia (FAIM) those dudes made a lot of noise back in the 1990s & 2000s especially in CoCo County. They also got a few FAIM rappers that are decent as well.
You gotta include CoCo boys too that’s the biggest white street and prison gang in the whole bay
The only Bay Area Peckerwood sets I’ve heard about were the Family Affiliated Irish Mafia (FAIM) from CoCo County, the CoCo Boys from CoCo County, & the Barbarian Brotherhood (BBH) from Sonoma County.
I know NLR used to run around in CoCo County back in the 1990s & early 2000s but they’re basically extinct now.
Is there any other Peckerwood sets in the Bay Area? Who are they?
I forgot how huge NLR was back then. The Lowriders were about 1,500 deep in the late 90s.
They recruited Skinheads & Peckerwoods, some of them were half Hispanic & half White too.
It was supposed to be strictly for the juvenile white kids locked up in California’s Youth Authority but the kids who started it eventually brought NLR to the streets & the state prisons. They were huge in Orange County dude, the OC was like the NLR headquarters for a little minute.
Some of the NLR OGs started recruiting white boys from NorCal while locked up in the pen & that’s why NLR spread to CoCo County & the Bay Area. They aren’t around those areas anymore & they are basically extinct nowadays or in SNY (Protective Custody) yards in the pen.
NLR was straight up hardcore. I remember seeing a group of NLR dudes hanging out in Huntington Beach down in Orange County back in 1996. All of them dressed up like Sureños / SouthSiders but they had swastikas & other w.p. symbols blasted all over them. They were all extremely physically fit too..big ass mfs for real.
NLR tried to go against The Brand & paid the price. NLR is no more.
I heard BBH went extinct from issues in the pen but I could be wrong
The Peckerwoods are more racist in Southern California than in Northern California in my experience cuz I’ve met a few NorCal Woods who acted more urban than anything else like they were all sagging & wearing skinny jeans with a Gucci belt on & all that & aye some of them even had gold teeth & black girlfriends. There’s a lot of non-racist Peckerwood crews up in NorCal dawg they just gotta follow AB politics when they get locked up otherwise they get smashed on the yard.
SoCal Peckerwoods are a little different cuz they dress up like cholos / southsiders with a mix of the punk rock & skater style. A lot of them are very racial & prejudiced in SoCal so it’s common to see a SoCal Wood with a bunch of political ink like the iron cross or the swastika. You’ll usually find these Woods hanging out at the skatepark, surfing at the beach, attending punk rock & heavy metal shows, & just majority white communities around SoCal.
Don’t confuse these guys with the W.P. Skinheads, Woods & Skins are not the same at all.
The term “Peckerwood” is just a slang for a white gangster.
