Histori

Periode Amerika Asli

Long before the advent of the Spanish explorers, the Rumsen Ohlone tribe, one of seven linguistically distinct Ohlone groups in California, inhabits what is now Monterey. They live by hunting, fishing, and collecting food in and around the biologically rich Monterey Peninsula. Researchers have found a number of midden shells in the area and, based on archaeological evidence, concludes Ohlone's main seafood consists of various times of shellfish and abalone. A number of heap sites have been found along about 12 miles (19 km) of rocky shores on the Monterey Peninsula from the current Wharf Fisherman site in Monterey to Carmel.

Spanish period

In 1602, the Spanish sea explorer Sebastian Vizcaino recorded the name "BahÃÆ'a de Monterrey", which had evolved into Monterey Bay. Vizcaino landed at the southern end of the bay and described a large port, suitable for use as a port by the southern Manila galleons. Vizcaino also recorded and named "Point of Pines" (labeled on the map today as "Point Pinos", the northernmost point of the Monterey Peninsula). All other uses of the Monterey name come from the name Vizcaino for the bay. Variants of the city name (from Spanish Monterrey ) are recorded as Monte Rey and Montery.

In 1769, Alta California's first mainland European exploration, the Spanish PortolÃÆ'¡ expedition, traveled north from San Diego, searching for Vizcain's "Port of Monterey" from 167 years earlier. For some reason, explorers failed to recognize the place when they came on October 1, 1769. The party continued north as far as San Francisco Bay before returning. On their way home, they camped near one of the Monterey lagoons on November 27, still not sure they had found the place Vizcaino described. The Franciscan Missionary Juan CrespÃÆ' noted in his diary, "We stopped seeing the Point of Pines (admittedly, as it was said, in early October) and camped near a small lagoon that had rather muddy water, but was abundant in grasslands and firewood. "

PortolÃÆ'¡ was returned by land to Monterey the following year, having concluded that he must be at the Vizcaino Port of Monterey after all. The land party met in Monterey by JunÃÆ' © sero who traveled through the sea. Portolà ¢ de established Presidio Monterey to defend the harbor and, on June 3, 1770, Serra founded the Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo within the presidency. PortolÃÆ'¡ returned to Mexico, replaced by Monterey by Captain Pedro Fages, who has been the third commander in exploration expeditions. Fages became second governor of Alta California, serving from 1770 to 1774.

Serra's missionary objectives immediately clashed with the Fages and the soldiers, and he moved the mission to Carmel the following year to gain greater independence from the Fages. The existing wooden and brick building became the chapel for the Presidio.

Monterey became the capital of "The Second Province of Californias" in 1777, and the chapel was renamed the Royal Presidio Chapel. The original church was destroyed by fire in 1789 and replaced by a sandstone structure now. It was completed in 1794 by an Indian worker. In 1840, the chapel was dedicated to the protection of Saint Charles Borromeo. The cathedral is the oldest continuously operating parish and the oldest stone building in California. It is also the oldest (and smallest) cathedral serving along with St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is the only presidio chapel in California and the only surviving building of the original Monterey Presidio.

The city was originally the only port of entry for all taxable goods in California. All shipments to California by sea must go through Custom House, the state's oldest government building and Historic Historic Number 1 California. Built in three phases, Spain began construction of Custom House in 1814, the Mexican government completed its central part in 1827, and the United States government completed the bottom in 1846. Argentina's invasion

On November 24, 1818, Argentine horse Hippolyte Bouchard landed 7 km (4.3 miles) from Presidio Monterey in a hidden river. The fort was counterattacked ineffectively, and after an hour of battle, the Argentinean flag flew over it. The Argentineans took the city for six days, during which time they stole cattle and burned fortress, artillery headquarters, the residence of governors and Spanish houses. The townspeople are not hurt.

Mexican Period

Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, but Alta California civil and religious institutions remained the same until the 1830s, when secularisation missions converted most of the grassland mission into ranchos private land grants.

Monterey was the site of the Battle of Monterey on July 7, 1846, during the Mexican-American War. On this date, John D. Sloat, Commodore in the United States Navy, raised the US flag over Monterey Custom House and claimed California to the United States.

In addition, many of the historic "firsts" happened in Monterey. These included California's first theaters, brick houses, publicly funded schools, public buildings, public libraries, and printing, which printed The California, California's first newspaper. Larkin House, one of Monterey's National Historic Landmark Historic Landmarks, built in the Mexican period by Thomas Oliver Larkin, is an early example of Monterey Colonial architecture. The old Adat Building, the historic district and the Kingdom Presidio Chapel are also National Historical Areas. Adobe Cooper-Molera is a National Trust Site of Historicity.

State of California

Colton Hall, built in 1849 by Walter Colton, was originally a public school and government meeting place.

Monterey convened the first constitutional convention of California in 1849, which compiled the documents necessary to apply to the United States for statehood. Today it has a small museum, while adjacent buildings serve as the center of local government, and the Monterey post office (opened in 1849). Monterey was founded in 1889.

Monterey has long been famous for its many fisheries in Monterey Bay. That changed in the 1950s when the local fishing business collapsed due to overfishing. Some of the old fishing cabins from the early 20th century have been preserved as they originally stood along Cannery Row.

The city has a noteworthy history as a center for California painters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Artists such as Arthur Frank Mathews, Armin Hansen, Xavier Martinez, Rowena Meeks Abdy, and Percy Gray lived or visited the painting with En plein air or Tonalism style.

In addition to painters, many famous writers also live in and around the Monterey area, including Robert Louis Stevenson, John Steinbeck, Ed Ricketts, Robinson Jeffers, Robert A. Heinlein, and Henry Miller.

Recently, Monterey has been recognized for its significant involvement in learning post-secondary languages ​​other than English and its main role in providing translation and interpretation services around the world.

In November 1995, California Governor Pete Wilson proclaimed Monterey the "Capital of the Language of the World".

Geography

According to the US Census Bureau, the city has a total area of ​​11.7 m² (30.4 km ² ), of which 8.5 m² (21.9 km ² ) is soil and 3.3Ã, sqÃ, mi (8.5Ã, km ² ) (28.05%) are water. The sand deposits in the northern coastal region consist of known mineral resources.

The local land is the Quaternary Alluvium. Common ground series include Baywood fine sand on the east side, Narlon clay sand on the western side, Sheridan's rough sandy clay in hilly terrain, and pale Tangair sands on hills supporting pine shell covered habitat. The city is in the medium to high seismic risk zone, the main threat is the active San Andreas Fault about 26 miles (42 km) to the east. The Monterey Bay fault, which tracks three miles (4.8 km) to the north, is also active, as Palo Colorado errors seven miles (11.3 km) to the south. Also nearby, small but potentially active, are the errors of Berwick Canyon, Seaside, Tularcitos and Chupines.

The maximum credible wave of Monterey Bay for the 100 year interval has been calculated as a nine foot (2.7 m) tall wave. The undeveloped area in the northwest part of the city has high potential for landslides and erosion.

The city is adjacent to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, a federal protected-protected oceanfront area stretching 276º, mi (444 km) along the coast. Sometimes this sanctuary is confused with a local bay, also called Monterey Bay.

Soquel Canyon State Conservation Area, Portuguese Preserve State Conservation Area, Pacific Grove Marine State Conservation Area, Lovers Point Marine Reserve, Edward F. Ricketts State Marine Conservation Area and the Asilomar Nature Reserve are the established marine protected areas by the state of California in Monterey Bay. Like underwater parks, these marine protected areas help preserve marine life and marine ecosystems.

California sea otters, threatened subspecies, inhabited the marine environment of the local Monterey Bay, and a Marine Mammal Center field station located in Monterey to support this marine sanctuary operation on this California coast. The rare robes of San Joaquin kit are found in the forests and the Monterey caparal habitats. Kaparal, found mainly in the dry eastern slopes of the city, hosts plants such as manzanita, chamise and ceanothus. Interesting additional species (ie, potential candidates for the status of endangered species) are Salinas kangaroo rats and lizards without silver eyes.

There are various natural habitats in Monterey: littoral zones and dunes; clay-covered pine forests; and Monterey Cypress. There is no dairy farm in Monterey; The semi-hard cheese known as Monterey Jack comes from Carmel Valley, California, and is named after businessman and land speculator David Jack.

The cone-shaped pine habitat is dominated by Monterey pines, Knobcone pines and Bishop pines, and contains rare Monterey manzanita. At the beginning of the 20th century, botanist Willis Linn Jepson characterized the Monterey Peninsula forest as "the most important silva ever", and prompted Samuel F.B. Morse (a century younger than inventor Samuel F. B. Morse) from the Company Properties Property Company Del Monte to explore the possibilities of preserving a unique forest community. The dune area is no less important, as it is a habitat for endangered species such as the Seaside beak vascular plant, Potentilla Hickman and Ericameria from Eastwood. Rare plants also inhabit the chaparral: Hickman onion, piperia Yadon ( Piperia yadonii ) and Sandmat manzanita. Other rare plants in Monterey include Delphinium Hutchinson, Tidestrom lupine, Gardner and Monterey Knotweed, the latter probably extinct.

Monterey's sound pollution has been mapped to determine the main source of noise and to ensure the exposed population area is at a significant level. The main sources are the Monterey Regional Airport, State Route 1 and major arterial roads such as Munras Avenue, Fremont Street, Del Monte Boulevard and Camino Aguajito. While most of Monterey is a quiet residential city, a moderate number of people in the northern part of town are exposed to aircraft noise at a rate of over 60 dB at the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) level. The most powerful source is State Route 1: all residents exposed at a rate of over 65 CNEL - about 1600 people - live near State Route 1 or one of the main arterial roads.

Climate

The Monterey climate is governed by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean that produces a cool summer Mediterranean climate (Climate classification KÃÆ'¶ppen: Csb). Monterey's high average temperatures range from about 14 ° C (57 ° F) in winter to 21 ° C (70 ° F) during the summer. The average annual rainfall is about 19.5 inches (500 mm), with most rainfall occurring between October and April, with little or no rain falling during the summer months. There are an average of 70 days with measured rainfall each year. The summer in Monterey is often cold and foggy. Cold surface water causes even summer evenings to be very cool for latitude, as opposed to on the US east coast where summer days beaches and nights are much warmer. This extreme moderation is increasingly underlined by the fact that Monterey is at the same latitude in California as the Death Valley - the hottest region in the world.

During the winter, snow sometimes falls at higher altitudes in the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Gabilan Mountains overlooking Monterey, but the snow at Monterey itself is very rare. Some unusual events in January 1962, February 1976, and December 1997 brought a thin layer of snow to Monterey. In March 2006, a total of 3.2 inches (81 mm) fell in Monterey, including 2.2 inches (56 mm) on March 10, 2006. The snowfall on January 21, 1962, from 1.5 inches (38 mm), was remembered for delaying a Bing Crosby golf tournament near Pebble Beach.

The lowest temperature record was 20 ° F (-7 ° C) on December 22, 1990. Each year, the average is 2.9 days with the highest 90 ° F, average 2 days with the lowest point reaching the freezing mark or lower.

The wettest year on record is 1998 with 41.01 inches (1,042 mm) of rainfall. The driest year was 1953 with 8.95 inches (227 mm). Most of the rainfall in a month was 14.26 inches (362 mm) in February 1998. The maximum rainfall record of 24 hours was 3.85 inches (98 mm) on December 23, 1995.

Attractions

Monterey is famous for its abundance and diversity of marine life, which includes sea lions, sea otters, seal harbors, bat rays, seaweed forests, pelicans and dolphins and several species of whales. Just a few miles offshore is Monterey Canyon, the largest and deepest (3.2 km) underwater canyon off the Pacific coast of North America, which provides access to the ocean within hours by scientists. Endless marine life makes Monterey a popular destination for scuba divers from all abilities ranging from beginner to expert. Scuba classes are held at San Carlos State Beach, which has been a favorite of divers since the 1960s. Monterey is home to one of the largest aquariums in North America, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, as well as several marine science labs, including Hopkins Marine Station.

The historic Fisherman's Wharf at Mountmore was built in 1845, rebuilt in 1870 and is now a shopping and commercial restaurant district with several companies watching whales operating at the end of the pier.

Monterey is home to several museums and over thirty carefully preserved historic buildings. Most of these adobes buildings were built in the mid-1800s, many museums, but only open during the Monterey adobe tour. Adobes and historic structures open regularly are Adobe Cooper Molera, Robert Louis Stevenson House, Casa Serrano, Perry House, The Customs House, Colton Hall, Mayo Hayes O'Donnell Library and The First Brick House.

What may be the only whalebone sidewalk that still exists in the United States is located in front of Old Whaling Station.

Cannery Row is a historic industrial district located in the ocean west of downtown Monterey. The airline operates several large cannery factories, mostly packing sardines from the 1920s through the 1950s when sardines were caught in excess and the industry collapsed. It remained largely empty from the 1950s until the late 1980s when the Monterey Bay Aquarium annexed part of Cannery Hovden. The aquarium revitalizes this neighborhood and is now the number one tourist destination on the Monterey Peninsula. Some cannons were burned in the 1970s but their ruins can still be seen along the ocean shore. The free shuttle, The Wave, takes visitors between downtown Monterey and the Aquarium with stops between rounds of the year.

Ever called Ocean View Boulevard, the Cannery Row road was renamed in 1953 to honor writer John Steinbeck, who has written a famous novel of the same name. It has now become a tourist attraction with many places located in the former cannery factory, including the Cannery Row Antique Mall located in the most historic canning building open to the public. Other historic buildings in the district include Wing Chong Market, The American Tin Cannery which is a shopping mall, Doc Rickett's lab, adjacent to the aquarium and only opened to the public several times a year, and some water tanks written about by Steinbeck. Some of the fishery companies that are owned and operated still exist in Cannery Row, housed in a pier located not far from the historic district frequented by tourists. Cannery Row is now regarded as the historic canning district of Foam St. into the ocean.

Lake El Estero is a popular Monterey park. Recreational opportunities include paddle boats, Dennis the Menace Park (named after the comic character Dennis the Menace), and a skate park designed by local skaters. Birders love this park because of its easy accessibility and an interesting diversity of bird life.

Culture

Art

Visual art

Monterey is home to the Monterey Art Museum, La Mirada's annex museum and the Salvador Dali Museum. There are several commercial galleries located in the historic districts of Cannery Row, New Monterey, and Customs House Plaza.

Monterey is also home to a number of waterfront art and craft festivals held at Custom House Plaza on Fisherman's Wharf.

Literary art

Artists who have built their home include John Steinbeck, who grew up in Salinas and live many years in nearby Pacific Grove, and are very short in the city of Monterey. Steinbeck immersed Monterey in his novel Cannery Row , Tortilla Flat , Sweet Thursday , and East of Eden .

Steinbeck's friends include some of the city's more colorful characters, including Ed Ricketts, a marine biologist, and Bruce Ariss, artist and theater enthusiast who designed and built the Wharf Theater.

After Ricketts's death, the new owners of the lab and a group of friends gathered every Wednesday in the lab for drinks and jazz music. While visiting with the group, San Francisco jockey disc jockey Jimmy Lyons suggested holding a jazz celebration in Monterey, which eventually became the Monterey Jazz Festival.

In 1879, Robert Louis Stevenson spent a short time in Monterey at the French Hotel while writing The Amateur Emigrant, "The Old Pacific Capital," and "Vendetta of the West." The former hotel, now known as "Stevenson House", stands at 530 Houston Street and displays the author's belongings.

Music

The Monterey Jazz Festival began in 1958, presenting artists such as Louie Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, and Billie Holiday, and now claims to be "the longest running jazz festival in the world" (since Newport Jazz Festival moved location).

In June 1967 the city was the place of the Monterey Pop Festival. Formally known as the Monterey International Pop Music Festival, a three-day concert event was held June 16 to June 18, 1967, at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. This was the first widely promoted and widely-attended rock festival, attracting some 200,000 total attendees with 55,000 to 90,000 people attending the peak of the show at midnight on Sunday. It was famous as hosting the first major American appearance by Jimi Hendrix and The Who, as well as the first major public performances of Janis Joplin and Otis Redding.

The Monterey Pop Festival embodies San Francisco's theme as a focal point for the match and is generally considered one of the earliest of "Summer of Love" in 1967. It is also a template for future music festivals, especially the Woodstock Festival two years later.

In 1986, the Monterey Blues Festival was created and has continued for more than two decades.

Theater art

The first dramatic publicly-listed entertainment venue in California is located in Monterey and is called, appropriately, the "California First Theater". In 1847, a sailor named Jack Swan began building a brick building on the corner of Pacific St. and Scott Ave, near Pacific House and Fisherman's Wharf. Between 1847 and 1848 some army detachments were stationed in Monterey and several sailors approached Swan with a proposition to lease parts of the building for use as a theater and money making business - a proposal Swan accepted. The company collected $ 500 for his first appearance, a huge amount at the time. The main media presented are melodramas and Olios (a form of musical performances and audiences who sing along). In the spring of 1848, drama Putnam, the Iron Son of '76 , was presented. After the California Gold Rush of 1849, most of the inhabitants, including Swan, traveled to northern California to seek wealth. As a result, at the end of that year, the company broke up. In 1896, Swan died and the building was abandoned until 1906 when it was purchased by the Historic Historical California League, which handed it to the State of California. In 1937, the building was leased to Denny-Watrous Management, which revived the melodrama tradition in today's historic building. A resident company was established and was named Troupers of the Gold Coast, which maintained its tradition for over 50 years, was closed for renovation in 1999. It is now permanently closed.

In 2005, the former theaters of the Golden State Theater located on Alvarado Street have been updated to produce live theater events. The Forest Theater Guild produced several dramas at Golden State including: Aida (musical) . Fat (music) , Zoot settings (play) , and Fiddler on the Roof . The new theater owners, Eric and Lori Lochtefeld, have produced some musical at the theater along with Broadway By the Bay.

The headquarters of the Roman Catholic Diocese in California is in Monterey, and one of the relatively few Oratorian communities in the United States is located in the city. The town is adjacent to the historic Carmel Catholic Mission.
