Early Settlement

Just what was it that brought people to the Monterey Bay area early on? Why did people settle there?

Some areas, such as Bypassed East, on a portion of the east coast and part of Canada, brought early European settlers because of its trees and fish (flounder, cod, and halibut). The climate was damp and cold...something not necessarily attractive to people.


Monterey Bay was a good location for early settlers to attract because of the convenient ports and fishing industry potential. The area offered fish and wildlife, natural resources and mild climate. Several types of fish include: salmon, albacore, rock cod, lingcod, halibut and rockfish.
