Description
An abandoned house with palm tree in Morro Bay, 1979.
Franklin Riley founded Morro Bay in 1870 as a port for the export of dairy and ranch products. He was instrumental in the building of a wharf that has now become the Embarcadero.
During the 1870s, schooners could often be seen at the Embarcadero picking up wool, potatoes, barley, and dairy products.
Tourism is the city's largest industry, coexisting with the town's commercial fishery.
