Tormey is located astride old U.S. Route 40, now San Pablo Avenue. Old County Road offshoots from it and at the end there is a water reservoir. The former Southern Pacific Railroad and now its new owner since 1996, the Union Pacific Railroad, skirts the bayshore side of Tormey. In the 1940s and 50's the Tormey Store served many of the grocery needs of the residents. The Hogg family managed the store with its single gasoline pump for many years. Although the area is unincorporated, many times it is referred to as being in the Crockett hills, or simply "the village" (by its residents), or the "refinery village". The ZIP Code is 94547. The community is inside area code 510. The town is named for Patrick Tormey, who purchased the property from the Ygnacio Martinez Rancho El Pinole estate. A post office operated at Tormey from 1891 to 1892.〔 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tormey, California」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
