The city of Pittsburg is an industrial center in Contra Costa County, located in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. The city is home to roughly 65,000 people and was originally called New York Landing and Black Diamond, but eventually the town residents voted for its current name because of its industrial potential.

Old Town Pittsburg tells tales about long gone times, and the city has worked diligently to preserve the historical charm while reviving the area with new development. Down here you can find a ton of dining and shopping establishments like Dad's BBQ, EJ Phair Brewing Company, Old Town Thrift Store and a plethora of others. Check out the art at Nicole Barton Photography & Gallery, or catch a top of the line performance at Pittsburg Performing Arts Academy.

If you're in town just for the weekend, stay at the Mar-Ray Motel or the Hampton Inn & Suites, where you'll be close to the blue marina with its many boats. Rent a yacht and travel the bay waters, or visit the Delta View Golf court where you can swing your club all day long.

The city hosts an abundance of events throughout the year, like the Art Walk in Old Town, Pittsburg Crawl and the Halloween Fun Run. In addition to plenty of community festivities, Pittsburg offers green leisure time any day of the week, with many parks like Central Park, Americana Park, California Seasons Park and Central Harbor Park. Bring your kids and bathe in the California sunshine while warming up the grill, watching baseball or testing the waters in one of the swimming pools!
