Monterey Background Monterey is one of the oldest cities in California. It's also the largest city on the Monterey Peninsula.In the late 1800s, Monterey grew into a renowned fishing village. Many of the fishermen were Chinese immigrants who sent most of their catches to San Francisco and the Far East. Italian and Portuguese immigrants soon followed, and in 1895, an entrepreneur named Frank Booth built the first cannery. The city found its fame in fishing, but Monterey has much more to offer. Parks, beaches and forests provide a taste of the outdoors, while the annual Monterey Jazz Festival brings culture and class to the community. Other attractions include Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Monterey State Historic Park. For more information on Monterey, visit coastparadise.com.
