Spanish Capital on Monterey Bay

Farms & Ranches in Monterey, CA

Welcome to Monterey, the historic Spanish capital of Alta California on Monterey Bay, home to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Monterey is a city in Monterey County, California, on the central coast at the southern end of Monterey Bay, along the scenic Highway 1 corridor between Santa Cruz and Big Sur. The 2020 census counted about 29,700 residents, but the city's importance to California history far exceeds its size. Founded in 1770 with the establishment of a Spanish mission and presidio, Monterey became the capital of Alta California under both Spanish and Mexican rule, and its old town preserves one of the state's earliest European-built environments, including adobe buildings from the Spanish and Mexican eras. The city's modern identity is shaped by the water. By the 1940s, Cannery Row was lined with nineteen sardine canneries harvesting more than 250,000 tons per season, earning Monterey the title "Sardine Capital of the World." When the sardine population collapsed after the war, the canneries closed, and the waterfront was reimagined: the Hovden Cannery became the Monterey Bay Aquarium when it opened in 1984, and the district now holds hotels, restaurants, and shops. Fisherman's Wharf, the aquarium, and the annual Monterey Jazz Festival make the city one of California's premier coastal destinations, a role reinforced by its setting along one of the country's most celebrated coastal drives. Residentially, Monterey offers an urban-suburban mix of historic homes, apartments, and waterfront districts, served by the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District and home to the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. The city sits between Pacific Grove and Carmel, with the Presidio of Monterey anchoring its hills. Monterey suits those seeking a walkable, culturally rich coastal city with deep history, a cool maritime climate, and immediate access to the Monterey Peninsula's natural beauty and world-class attractions.
