Founded on June 3, 1770, Monterey is one of the oldest cities in California. Once an abundant fishery, it also attracts writers, painters, and other artists. Now a tourist destination with the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Fisherman’s Wharf, it also hosts the California Roots Music and Arts Festival, and the annual Monterey Jazz Festival.
