Established
in 1849, Martinez is one of the oldest towns in California
and has served as the county seat of Contra Costa County for
more than 130 years. Nestled at the gateway to the Delta,
the City is home for 36,700 residents. Come visit our historic
downtown and spend a relaxing day strolling our tree-lined
streets where shops retain their early 20th century charm.
You're just a train ride away from our award-winning Amtrak
Station. Don't miss our bustling marina and waterfront that
offers beautiful bicycling vistas, hiking trails, world class
bocce ball tournaments and a new 10,000 square foot Skate
Park.
While
you're here, visit the historical home of John Muir,
one of California's first and foremost environmentalists
and co-founder of the sierra Club. Martinez is also the
birthplace of Joe DiMaggio and the
martini!.
