| Page Views: 125 Last Visit to Pacheco: February, 2008 | An East Bay Town by SteveOSF - last update: Feb 15, 2008 |
Pacheco is located in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. It is wedged between the cities of Concord, Pleasant Hill, and Martinez at the intersection of Highways 680 and 4. Pacheco is far enough away from San Francisco, yet close enough to the oil refineries in Martinez, to still retain some light industry.
Pacheco Boulevard is the main drag of Pacheco. It runs parallel to Highway 680. A variety of businesses line Pacheco Boulevard. When this arterial reaches Pleasant Hill, its name changes to Contra Costa Boulevard. From Pleasant Hill it continues to Walnut Creek where it becomes North Main Street.
Just beyond nearby Martinez along Highway 680 is the Benicia Bridge. This short bridge charges a toll identical to the San Francisco Bay Bridge. Although Pacheco contains some light industry, it is primarily a bedroom community for the San Francisco Bay Area. |

I hope they preserve the building, would hate to see it disappear. Nice page, I always enjoy the history! | Stephanie Fri Sep 18, 2009 19:40 UTC

I've never made it to the towns north of Oakland except Berkeley. Walnut Creek and Pacheco sound like pleasant places. |
