The Martinez Historical Society was established in 1973 to save an 1890's cottage located in downtown Martinez. Convinced that the City's history deserved a repository where papers, documents, photographs and artifacts could be housed, the society prevailed upon the City of Martinez to join in acquiring use of the "Borland House" for that purpose. A lease was obtained from the Contra Costa College District, and the Martinez Historical Society took possession in February 1974.
