Crolona Heights

Not many California communities have histories as strongly bound to sugar refining as Crolona Heights. Near Crockett on the north shore of the Carquinez Strait, it occupies Bay Area hills above the tidal waterway linking San Pablo Bay and Suisun Bay. The nearby C&H Sugar refinery, founded in 1906, has long shaped Crockett’s industrial character and remains a major local landmark. This part of Contra Costa County also lies close to the Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline, whose trails follow the edge of this heavily travelled estuary.
