Living in Pinole, CA
Pinole was named in the early 1700s. Legend has it that Spanish explorers ran out of provisions just as they came across the area and Indians gave them food, which the Spaniards called "pinole." The first hacienda was built in Pinole in 1824, and early settlers started a trading facility on the bay. Industry boomed and many of the original buildings are still standing today. By the early 1900s the town was striving, and Pinole was incorporated in 1903.
Pinole has seen great growth thanks to agricultural shipping and the construction of Interstate 80, but it's maintained its historic charm. Historic residences remain in good condition and the Pinole Park District oversees hundreds of acres of land that consist of dog play areas, playgrounds, sports fields and more. Thanks to moderate temperatures year-round, residents enjoy annual community activities such as a farmers market, a classic car show and free music and movies in the parks.
