The City of Antioch was incorporated in
1872 and currently encompasses an area of approximately 28
square miles. With a population nearing 90,000, Antioch has
become the heart of Eastern Contra Costa County, offering a
variety of employment, shopping and vast recreational
activities. The availability of quality and affordable housing
is unsurpassed in the Bay Area. Balanced development includes

restaurants and several festivals, including the Rivertown
Jamboree and the Delta Blues Festival, enhance the riverfront
