Richmond

Richmond is best known in California for Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park, which preserves the city’s pivotal wartime shipbuilding story. Set on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, Richmond combines a broad working waterfront with the historic enclave of Point Richmond. During World War II, Kaiser’s Richmond shipyards produced 747 vessels, drawing workers from across the United States and reshaping the city’s population and civic identity. The park’s visitor center occupies the restored Ford Assembly Plant, while nearby shoreline parks connect to the San Francisco Bay Trail.
