Antioch

Built around a riverside landing on the San Joaquin River, Antioch grew into an East Bay city on the edge of California’s Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. The town was renamed Antioch in 1850, after the ancient city in present-day Turkey, and its waterfront long connected local communities with river trade. Nearby, Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve preserves the remains of a coal-mining district that supplied fuel to the Bay Area in the 19th century. Antioch’s setting brings together broad Delta waterways, working neighborhoods and access to regional parks, while the larger San Francisco Bay Area lies to the west.
