Pittsburg Homes and Condos for Sale

The historically industrial city of Pittsburg, California lies on the spot where the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers converge. Located in Contra Costa County and founded in 1839, Pittsburg has been known by many names. Its current moniker was voted upon in 1911 after Columbia Geneva Steel opened for business five year prior. An homage to the eastern steel giant, the California city dropped the ‘H’ to avoid confusion. In the last century, Pittsburg has been powered by coal, steel, chemical and manufacturing industries.
