Antioch
Antioch, Gateway to the Delta, is located
on the banks of the San Joaquin River near the entrance to the
agriculturally rich San Joaquin Delta. It is located off of
Highway 4 in Contra Costa County with convenient access to the
entire array of Northern California recreation. Popular
destinations include the Monterey Peninsula, Napa Valley
Wineries, Northern California coast, Lake Tahoe, Sierra-Nevada
ski slopes, Yosemite National Park, the Gold Country, and the
San Joaquin Delta.
The City of Antioch was incorporated in
1872 and currently encompasses an area of approximately 28
square miles. With a population nearing 90,000, Antioch has
become the heart of Eastern Contra Costa County, offering a
variety of employment, shopping and vast recreational
activities. The availability of quality and affordable housing
is unsurpassed in the Bay Area. Balanced development includes
shopping centers, a golf course, several fine parks, including
the family-oriented Prewett Water Park and new schools. Antioch
is one of the last cities in Contra Costa County still building
new schools.
The City features access to the Delta
through its Marina and boat ramp. An art gallery, unique shops,
restaurants and several festivals, including the Rivertown
Jamboree and the Delta Blues Festival, enhance the riverfront
downtown area.
