City's beginnings were religious
Pacific Grove began as
a "Christian Seaside
Resort" in 1875. To be
more specific, the city has
its roots in the Methodist
Church and evidence of
that heritage may be seen
today.
In 1873, a land baron
named David Jacks
allowed W.S. Ross, a
Methodist minister and
his wife to build a small
house on a plot of land
near what is now the
corner of Central and 18th
streets.
The Reverend Ross had
come to the peninsula on
the advice of his doctor, as
a remedy for pulmonary
problems. Later, he
brought other members of
his family to the spot,
where they too were
restored to good health

The next year, Rev.
Ross invited Bishop J.T.
Peek to his forest home
and the Bishop, having
been in search of a proper
site for annual meetings
since 1871, knew a good
thing when he saw it.
On June 1,1875, Bishop
Peek recommended to the
Methodist Retreat
As *ocia lion in San
Francisco, that land be
purchased on the
peninsula for use as a
resort where Christians
could get together and
hold church meetings.
Such was the birth of
Pacific Grove Retreat
Association, and finally
Pacific Grove itself.
Jacks sold the land to
the association on easy
terms and the association
began developing a resort
modeled after another

century. (Photo from the Pat Hathaway collection)
