FASCINATING  SAN PEDRO

This peninsula, including all of San Pedro, was the homeland of the Tongva-Gabrieleño Native American people for thousands of years. The Spanish started using the San Pedro Bay in 1540. European settlement began in 1769 as part of an effort to populate California. Around 1770 Rancho San Pedro was the first land grant in the Alta California portion of the Province of Las Californias in New Spain, and became part of Mexico. In 1848 the US defeated Mexico in the Mexican-American war and took control. San Pedro was a township in the 1860 census and counted a population of 359. In 1906, the city of Los Angeles annexed the Harbor Gateway, and in 1909, the larger city consolidated with San Pedro. The 2000 census counted a population of 80,065. San Pedro is home to the largest Italian-American community in SoCal, estimated at 45,000 (I checked this number twice, yes roughly 50% of the people in San Pedro!). Croatian and Norwegian communities are notable as well.

For this adventure I selected five fascinating locations in San Pedro. You will play each location in the specified order, so the bonus cache will be near when you complete it.
