Pinole, in short

How fast can I get a re-roof permit in Pinole?

There are two routes. The City’s Building Permit Requirements page says it “now offers INSTANT permits for qualifying residential reroof projects”. Applying through the City’s e-TRAKiT portal instead “is expected to be approved within 2-3 business days”. Either way, the City’s Inspections page says: “All permits issued require an inspection during and/or at completion of the work.”

The story of Pinole

Pinole, an incorporated city of Western Contra Costa County on the east side of San Francisco Bay, which the City says it incorporated in 1903.

The City tells a legend that the name came from a meal of acorns, seeds and wild grain; it says a land grant called “El Pinole” was made in the 1820s, that the railroad came through the wharf area in 1878 and opened the way for the California Powder Works, and that Pinole incorporated in 1903.

The City’s history page says: “The original inhabitants of the West Contra Costa shoreline were people part of the Lisjan (Ohlone) nation”.

The City tells a legend about the name, from a Spanish exploration through Contra Costa. The soldiers’ food was “a form of meal, made from acorns, seeds, and wild grain, which they called ‘pinole'”, and “the soldiers named their camp ‘El Pinole,’ and Pinole received its name.”

The City says a Mexican land grant of over 17,000 acres, known as “El Pinole”, was made in the 1820s.

The City’s history page says that by the 1850s Bernardo Fernandez “started a trading facility at the bay”, and its walking-tour brochure calls him “a Portuguese immigrant” and the “founder of the wharf and shipping business in Pinole beginning in the 1850s”.

The City says the Southern Pacific Railroad came through the wharf area in 1878, and the way opened for the California Powder Works to move to the adjacent waterfront, which the company called Hercules. The City says the company “became the largest producer of dynamite in the world by the turn of the century”, and that the town of Pinole “became the service center for the plant”.

The walking-tour brochure says Downer, of the Downer Mansion, “came to the area in 1889 as a Southern Pacific station agent, and went on to become the postmaster, founder of Pinole’s first newspaper, the first City Clerk, and Mayor of Pinole for 25 years until his death in 1938”.

Pinole incorporated in 1903. The City says Old Town was then “bustling with waterfront activity at the wharf, a post office, a newspaper (The Pinole Weekly Times), a school, several hotels, saloons, and stores and two churches”, and that by 1915 it “boasted the Pinole Opera House, the Pinole Theatre, the Bank of Pinole”. The City celebrated its Centennial Anniversary on June 25, 2003, and says: “June 25th is the birthday of the City of Pinole.”

The brochure says: “Although the Bank of Pinole was organized in 1905, the building you see before you was built in 1915.” In 1975, it says, the City bought the building for $1, “with the stipulation that it continue to be used as a youth facility”, and after a retrofit funded by the Redevelopment Agency it “reopened for commercial use in 1996”.

The City says: “Due to the stability of the Powder Plant until the 1970s, Pinole’s residential neighborhoods were not exposed to major changes created by land development or speculation.” The General Plan adds: “The greatest periods of growth in Pinole occurred after WWII”.
