Martinez

City and seat of Contra Costa County, north-central California; population (1990) 31,800. Martinez lies on the southwestern shore of Suisun Bay, across the Carquinez Strait from Benicia, and 29 km/18 mi north-northeast of Oakland.

Martinez has long been established as an industrial centre, with copper-smelting, winemaking, oil-refining, shipbuilding, fishing, and canning concerns all located here. The naturalist John Muir lived here from 1882 onwards, and his house is now part of a National Historic Site. The city has traditionally had a predominantly Italian community, and was the birthplace of the renowned baseball player Joe DiMaggio, in 1914.
