History & History Related Items
Monterey history: In 1602, Spanish explorer, Sebastian Vizcaino sailed into the bay and named it for the Count of Monte-Rey, the Viceroy of Mexico. The area remained largely unsettled until 1770 when Fathers Crespi, Junipero Serra and Gaspar de Portola came in and founded the Presidio and the Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Monterey. In 1775, it was recognized by the King of Spain as the capital of California. But in 1822, California became subject to Mexico rule. It became a center for trade and shipping. Many people opposed the Mexican rule and, in 1846, Commodore Sloat raised the American Flag. Monterey was California's first capital. Our state's first constitution was signed right here in Monterey on October 13, 1849 in Colton Hall. By the 1930's and 40's, the area was a center for the fishing industry. Cannary Row evolved through this business. Monterey History & Art Association
