About Martinez
John Muir, renowned naturalist and conservationist, lived here and Martinez is home to a National Historic site preserving his legacy in establishing several national parks.
As the county seat, downtown Martinez is the setting for the courthouse and its many adjunct facilities. Many of the historic structures are well-preserved and fully operational.
In 2007, a family of beavers took up residence in Alhambra Creek, which runs through Martinez. Their dam became quite the controversial attraction as it posed possible flooding issues. However, the citizenry worked through the issues and the beavers are alive and well, thanks in part to the non-profit organization,Worth a Dam.
Martinez is a mid-sized city of approximately 37,000 residents who are quite proud of their hometown and its colorful past, as well as confident in its bright future.
