Contra Costa County is located in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, and was one of the original 27 counties established in California in 1850. It is the ninth most populous county in the state, and is made up of 19 cities and many established communities in the unincorporated area. The county seat is Martinez.  The county’s name means “opposite coast” because of its location opposite San Francisco, in an easterly direction, on San Francisco Bay.
