Keep Martinez’s Rich History Alive!

The History of the Refinery in Martinez

SUNDAY: January 26, 2025 11:00am - 930 Ward St.

The Martinez Historical Society invites you to the Veteran’s Hall, to a presentation exploring the birth and evolution of the refinery here in our town of Martinez.

  • Why was a refinery needed?
  • How did supply and demand contribute to its success?
  • Why was this Martinez site picked?

These and other questions will be answered by Mr Sean Johnson of the current Martinez Refining Company.

Mr. Johnson will guide us through the years of growth and development of our pioneer refinery neighbor.
