The town of Hercules was established as company housing by the California Powder Works in 1881 when it relocated its operations from San Francisco. Hercules was named after the company's leading brand of explosive, in turn named after the mythical hero. Hercules was incorporated in 1900. The city's ethnically diverse population generally ranges from middle class to affluent.

Pinole is a quiet town between El Sobrante and Hercules in the East Bay. The housing costs in Pinole are generally lower than the more central communities of Oakland, Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito. Although the commute is longer from Pinole to the city, for many people the advantages are the peaceful suburban neighborhoods and the warmer, less foggy weather.

North of Berkeley and El Cerrito, the historic city of Richmond stretches from the bay all the way to Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, which runs along the crest and into the canyons of the easternmost hills of the coast range. A transportation hub, there is a combined BART and Amtrak Station, and a quick commute to Marin County as well as an alternative route into San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge.
