Real Estate & Homes in Pacific Grove - California - Pacific Grove, California homes and communities Pacific GrovePacific Grove Background Each October, Pacific Grove becomes a sea of orange and black when thousands of monarch butterflies arrive to spend their winter in this seaside community. No one knows how long the monarchs have been visiting, but it was first noted in 1875, when a group of Methodists set up a summer church camp in the region.That small summer camp grew into a year-round retreat, and Pacific Grove was formally incorporated as a city in 1889. At the time, there were 1,300 permanent residents, most of whom were Methodist. Although residents from other denominations eventually moved to Pacific Grove, the church's influence remained strong in the community. Alcohol was prohibited within the city limits until 1969, making it the last "dry" city in California, and widespread community involvement has earned Pacific Grove the nickname of "The Last Hometown."
