Book Synopsis Half Moon Bay by : Kathleen Manning
Download or read book Half Moon Bay written by Kathleen Manning. This book was released on 2005-01-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First dubbed San Benito and then Spanishtown, Half Moon Bay is a coastside town with a long and intriguing story. Many know it for its lovely natural surroundings, quaint downtown architecture, and relaxed atmosphere, but not many people know that this town was the first to be established in San Mateo County as a result of 1840s land grants to early Spanish settlers. Isolated on the coast for a time, it became home to Mexican, Chilean, Italian, Portuguese, and other cultures after the 1850s, when roads finally reached over the mountains. During the 20th century, a wide variety of businesses thrived here, as people arrived by road, water, and even railroad. Farms, churches, schools, businesses, and homes sprang up, and the town modernized, though todays Half Moon Bay looks much like it did 100 years ago.

Book Synopsis San Mateo County Coast by : Michael Smookler
Download or read book San Mateo County Coast written by Michael Smookler. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Pacifica to Pescadero and south to the Santa Cruz County line, San Mateo County has 75 miles of stunning, rugged coastline. Development has been minimal, but a detailed history lurks among these rocky coves, sandy beaches, and barking sea lions. After European contact, Portuguese fishermen set up shop here, establishing themselves throughout the coast and pulling in a remarkable catch from the waters. Others soon joined and built the larger cities of Half Moon Bay and Pacifica, along with smaller communities like Montara, El Granada, and San Gregorio. Fishing and agriculture have coexisted here for decades, along with government operations such as Coast Guard light stations, defense artillery bunkers, and the Air Force station at Pillar Point.
