"Pittsburg, California is a city located in eastern Contra Costa County, California, the outer portion of the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Pittsburg, founded in 1839, was called first "New York Landing", then "Black Diamond", before citizens voted on "Pittsburg" on February 11, 1911, in honor of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The current name was chosen due to the city's relations with the steel building industry, first established by the Columbia Steel Company. The original town site fronts on the Sacramento River Delta, reflecting its origins as a deep water channel river port." (visit link)
