Antioch, California is a suburb of San Francisco and Oakland with a population of about 107,000 people. The city’s population is about 50 percent white, but it also has sizeable African American, Asian, and Pacific Islander communities. Top employers for the area include Kaiser Permanente and the Sutter Delta Medical Center.
The gold rush brought thousands of people to the Antioch area in 1850. Unfortunately, a plague killed most of the residents within a year of the gold’s discovery. Antioch has had several names, including Smith’s Landing and Marsh Landing. The current name was suggested by a minister who wanted to honor Antioch on the Orontes, an ancient Greek city that’s considered the cradle of Christianity.
