The area was purchased by the King family who used the coast as a fishery to feed the growing population of 49ers in the San Francisco area. The King family transferred the area into their holding company, King Holdings, and kept the area undeveloped until the Great Recession of 2010. Following the Great Recession King Holdings sold the land to the State of California to serve as a new city on the Pacific Coast.
