Tara Hills is best known within California as a residential community in Contra Costa County’s East Bay. It occupies low, rolling ground just inland from San Pablo Bay, between the bay shore and the East Bay hills. The community lies near San Pablo and Pinole, with Richmond and Oakland part of the larger urban area surrounding the bay. Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, nearby on the waterfront, preserves the site of the former Giant Powder Company, once an important dynamite works. Tara Hills provides a useful perspective on the East Bay’s shift from suburban streets to protected shoreline parkland.
