History & History Related Items Dana Point history: At the turn of the 19th century, Dana Point was the only major port between Santa Barbara and San Diego. Now the natural cove is a modern marina and hosts the annual Whale Festival. Whale-watching cruises are available from late December through March. The community wasnamed for Richard Henry Dana, Jr., author of "Two Years Before The Mast," a book he wrote about his adventures aboard the Pilgrim. During the 1920's, plans were made for a housing development along with a large hotel and bar that included a tunnel down to the harbor from the cliff where the hotel was to be located. Beyond a foundation, the hotel never materialized and the tunnel was boarded up. The community remained small for many years but finally, after more growth, incorporation occurred in 1989.
