Port Costa was founded in 1879, in the San Francisco Bay Area. It served as a major wheat port and was home to many sailors and railroad workers. 
The 1883 Burlington Hotel, with its own historic plaque debating its former status as a bordello, is located at the bottom of Canyon Lake Drive. Sparky's Garage now occupies the hotel's storefront.
