Martinez Overview
Ideally situated on the southern banks of the San Francisco Bay Area, Martinez is a charming slice of west coast life known around the globe for its assortment of antique shops and historic structures. Effortlessly melding a welcoming vibe with plenty of amenities and nightlife options, this is one California hot spot well worthy of discovering.
What is the history of Martinez?
Established thanks to the gold rush of the 1800s, Martinez saw its first post office open in 1851. The first oil refinery of the region was established in 1904, with several others coming to fruition in years following.

State Route 4 offers passage east towards Nevada, while Interstate 680 runs over the Benicia-Martinez Bridge north towards upper California.

Still, this is California, and those commuting to San Francisco and beyond should allow a bit of extra time to reach their destinations on most work days.

The 'East Bay Times' and the 'Martinez Tribune' are both popular print periodicals in the city, with the 'Martinez News Gazette' yet another hot read.

What Martinez landmarks should I see?
The Muir Trestle stands tall at over 1,000 feet, an instantly-recognizeable ficture of the city, and the Contra Costa County Courthouse boasts some truly impressive architecture if that's your thing. The John Muir House is one of the oldest in the city at well over a century, and the Bay Area Ridge Trail remains an ever-popular landmark among those living in Martinez apartments for rent.
