City of Pittsburg

Located at the point where the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers meet, Pittsburg has been a city of progress and promise for well over 150 years. The earliest recorded history of dates back to 1839, when the Mexican government granted nearly 9,000 acres, known as “Rancho Los Medanos,” to brothers Jose Antonio Mesa and Miguel Jose Mesa Garcia.

Pittsburg is striding into the future, each day more prosperous than the one before. New homes, renovated historic homes, new businesses, and a revived historic theater district are all signs of the progress being made in Pittsburg. Additionally, Pittsburg's local government has expanded the parks system, improved the roads, increased commerce and employment, expanded the Marina and built a modern Civic Center. Working together, the progress will continue.
