Monterey County, California, is home to King City, which was named for its founder, Charles King. It began as a train stop in 1886, and was originally called “Hog Town,” due to the farms in the area during that time. John Steinbeck's family were among the first settlers, and his father claimed to have been the first permanent resident.
