Santa Monica History

Santa Monica first began to develop in the early 1900s with the construction of the Santa Monica Pier. Santa Monica is a popular vacation spot, and place to live, because of its Mediterranean climate which affords the city an average of 310 days of sun per year. This beach attitude is reflected in the surrounding industry, mostly around tourism. Santa Monica was also instrumental in the rise of the skateboarding culture in the 1960s.
