Monterey is a city rich in history and natural beauty. Home to the Rumsen Ohlone people, it became a significant site for Spanish explorers in the 16th century. In the 19th century, Monterey thrived as a bustling port and was the site of California's first constitutional convention in 1849. The city's economy flourished with the fishing and canning industries, particularly sardines, leading to the development of the famous Cannery Row.
