Pacheco, Census-designated place in Contra Costa County, California.

The settlement was founded in 1857 by Dr. J. H. Carothers and served as a shipping point for regional grain. Natural events including floods and earthquakes damaged the port infrastructure, leading to its decline and the area's transition to residential use.

The area is well connected to neighboring communities via State Route 4 and local roads. Schools in the district serve families, and the terrain is accessible for daily navigation by car.
The area was once a working grain port connected by a creek channel that completely disappeared over time. Few visitors realize this quiet residential zone was once a busy commercial hub with shipping activity.
