City of Pacific Grove

City of Pacific Grove: By the mid-1800s, The City of Monterey was already a bustling port of call. The “piney paradise” we now call Pacific Grove, at the tip of the Monterey Peninsula, lay quiet and unpopulated until Point Pinos Lighthouse was built in 1855. In 1874 a road (Lighthouse Avenue) was constructed to reach it. Thus began the populating of Pacific Grove. It was the following year, 1875, that the Pacific Grove Retreat Association was founded and a Methodist seaside resort and campground was established on land owned by local surveyor and businessman, David Jacks. / via http://www.discoverpacificgrove.com/1-History.html
