ポニーエクスプレス埠頭

Pony Express Wharf

Nearby was the location of the Broadway wharf. The wharf extended from Broadway and Davis streets east to this location. All of the Pony Express mail that was delivered to and from San Francisco used this wharf. The Pony Express ran from April 3, 1860 to November 20, 1861.

The Pony Express mail was carried by either the "River Steamers" of the California Steam Navigation Company that operated between here and Sacramento or the ferry "Oakland" that operated between Oakland and here.

PONY EXPRESS TRAIL

THIS PLAQUE COMMEMORATES THE PASSAGE IN 1860 AND 1861 OF THE PONY EXPRESS RIDERS FROM SACRAMENTO TO SAN FRANCISCO THROUGH WHAT IS NOW ORINDA.

1860 - 1861 Pony Express

A nearby plaque commemorates the passage in 1860 - 1861 of Pony Express riders from Sacramento to the San Francisco terminus. They usually rode river steamers, but 20 times the Pony Express took an overland route as the steamers did not run on Sundays and occasionally the riders were late. They came through Benicia, via ferry to Martinez, then to Orinda and Oakland, en route to San Francisco.
