City Of Martinez

We are a city organization that provides city services and support to Martinez’s residents and businesses. City services include public safety, street and park maintenance, recreation, and community development. We think this is an awesome place to live, but not just because of our growing Downtown with a variety of restaurants, shops and breweries, or because of our beautiful open spaces and recreation opportunities, or even because of our gorgeous weather throughout the year. What makes Martinez great is the sense of community that embodies every neighborhood and business in this city. As a family-friendly city, it helps that we have great access to parks with recreation programs, a community pool, several sporting fields and courts. Families who decide to lay roots in Martinez find themselves staying for generations. Businesses who choose Martinez do it because they welcomed into a vibrant hub of makers and hometown innovators. Our history is one that cannot be underestimated. Martinez was established in 1847 and became the home of the County seat in 1850. The famous naturalist John Muir called Martinez home until his passing in 1914. Martinez was also where Hall of Fame baseball player Joe DiMaggio was born. Pretty cool, right?
