History In 1824 the Alhambra Valley was included in a land grant to Don Ygnacio Martinez by the Mexican government for services rendered to the Mexican and Spanish armies.[1] By 1849, Martinez served as a way station for the California Gold Rush. It became the county seat in 1850, but could not incorporate at the time because it lacked the 200 registered voters required, and only became a city in 1876.[2] In 1847, Dr. Robert Semple contracted to provide ferry service from Martinez to Benicia, CA (across the Carquinez straight, Benicia was a growing community and state capitol for a year in 1852).[3] The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was discovered at Sutters Mill. ...

Martinez's oil refineries can still be seen today from Interstate 680, and it continues to be a significant port and petroleum processing center. Frank E. Webner, pony express rider c. ...

Martinez is one of the only two places in the Bay Area--the other is the Golden Gate Bridge--where the Bay Area Ridge Trail and the San Francisco Bay Trail converge. The Bay Trail is a planned recreational corridor that, when complete, will encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with a continuous 400-mile network of bicycling and hiking trails. It will connect the shoreline of all nine Bay Area counties, link 47 cities, and cross the major toll bridges in the region, including the Martinez-Benicia Bridge. To date, approximately 240 miles of the alignment—over half the Bay Trail’s ultimate length—have been completed. The Bay Area Ridge Trail ultimately will be a 500+ mile trail encircling the San Francisco Bay along the ridge tops, open to hikers, equestrians, mountain bicyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts of all types. So far, over 300 miles of trail have been dedicated for use. East Bay Regional Park District's Iron Horse Regional Trail will join the Bay Trail along the waterfront, and the Contra Costa Canal Trail threads through the city from Pleasant Hill to the south.

Environmental features In early 2007, the creek that runs through downtown Martinez (Alhambra Creek) was adopted by beavers. The active pair built a 4-foot by 8-foot dam and nearby lodge close to the train station. Residents report that when city workers initially removed it, the dedicated team had fully rebuilt within three days. The animals have become a popular attraction for people visiting the city's downtown shops and restaurants. While concerns have been raised about the effect the dam and other structures will have on drainage, Mayor Rob Schroder says there are currently no plans to remove the animals.

In June two baby beavers made an appearance, followed by two more in July. Busily learning their parents' trade, they are great fun to watch. Beavers are known for changing their environment for the better --- since their arrival, the creek has become a haven for otter, muskrat and waterfowl. Even so, prior to the concern voiced by many Martinez residents, the beavers were slated for extermination. Now they have been granted a modicum of protection, though the city still says "for now" when discussing their reprieve. Recently the city manager has been approached about using beaver-friendly techniques for discouraging the colony if it is determined they must be removed.
