Tucked along the northern shore of San Francisco Bay, San Quentin is a place whose character is shaped by its waterfront position and its long association with California’s oldest state prison. San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, formerly San Quentin State Prison, was established in 1852 and remains the community’s defining institution. Just offshore, the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge carries traffic across the bay toward the East Bay, while Marin County’s shoreline links the site to the broader landscape north of San Francisco.
