Richmond sits on San Francisco Bay in Contra Costa County, a waterfront city shaped by wartime shipbuilding and by Point Richmond village life. Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park preserves the Ford Building and stories of women and workers who built ships during the war, giving Richmond a national history that visitors can walk. Point Richmond, a small village district on the bay, offers shops, restaurants, and a tunnel to the waterfront, with a quiet neighborhood feel distinct from the larger city.
