The small town of Crockett rests on the shore of the Carquinez Strait; a narrow shipping waterway running from San Francisco Bay into the Sacramento Delta region. Crocketts early history was heavily influenced by the shipping industry; and the shoreline was filled with warehouses and wharves. Twin cantilever bridges across the Carquinez Strait at Crockett distinguish the towns skyline from other ports in the area. A third span was recently added across the strait and named in honor of Crockett native Alfred Zampa. Much of Crocketts identity has been associated with the CH sugar refinery; and for more than 50 years; Crockett was a devoted company town.
