Hercules was an unincorporated community in Contra Costa County, California, United States.[1] It is located on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad 5 miles (8 km) east of Point Pinole in Pinole,[3] at an elevation of 56 feet (17 m).[1] The place was started and named by railroad officials for the Hercules Powder Company.[3]
The Hercules Powder Company located here in 1881. The town of Hercules was incorporated in 1900, and included all the surrounding area. The Herpoco reference has fallen into disuse, and is now found almost exclusively on USGS maps, as well as Google.
