Marin City

Among California’s Bay Area communities, Marin City stands out for its origins as a World War II housing settlement for workers at the Marinship shipyard in nearby Sausalito. The community lies in southern Marin County near Richardson Bay, on the northern side of San Francisco Bay and close to the Golden Gate. Many Black workers who arrived for wartime jobs made their homes here; discriminatory housing practices of the era helped shape Marin City’s enduring African American community. Its location also connects it with Sausalito, Mill Valley and San Francisco.
