The City was incorporated in 1948 and has grown up quite nicely into the gem of East County and beyond. As we celebrate our anniversary, we'll emphasize our respect for our heritage, for our founders and their efforts, and look forward to the opportunities ahead as we continue to grow and maintain the quality of life we all enjoy here.

The City created an anniversary collector’s publication with The Press, and the East Contra Costa Historical Society capturing highlights of our city’s rich history: 75th Anniversary Historical Publication

You are invited to share your memories and photos of the City’s past, from its founding in 1948 to now. Showcase your best memories of the City by sharing pictures and stories of your time in Brentwood. The photos will be featured in a 75th Anniversary Photo Mosaic, the City of Brentwood website, and on the City’s social media channels. Submit images and stories here.

Visit the Community Highlights page, where long-time residents share their favorite memories of Brentwood and what makes our town unique. 

A year of celebration began with the 75th Community Birthday Party held on Saturday, January 21, 2023. The community enjoyed a temporary "mini museum" with contributions by local historical organizations, games for the family, cupcakes, a time capsule display, and opportunities to learn about the history of our community.
