About Pacheco

Pacheco's History

The area's first inhabitants were a tribe of the Bay Miwok, and Spanish settlers later moved into what's now known as Contra Costa County in the early 19th century. American settlers began to form communities in the Pacheco area starting in the mid-19th century. The town was originally laid out by Dr. J.H. Carothers in 1857, who named the town for Salvio Pacheco, the grantee of the Mexican land grant. Pacheco slowly grew, becoming a commercial center for a short time in the early 20th century. In the second half of the 20th century, many people left Pacheco for nearby Concord.
