Vintage Moss Landing Sign.
Moss Landing was originally called Moss. The Moss post office opened in 1895, and changed its name to Moss Landing in 1917. It is named for Charles Moss, a Texas ship captain who with a partner built a wharf here. It became a busy whaling and fishing port and a location for fish processing plants and canneries. Today it is mostly a tourist destination with a small harbor and a smattering of shops and restaurants. Since 1949 Moss Landing is also know for its large electrical power plant. The plants two large stacks are massive landmarks that can be seen from Santa Cruz to Monterey.

Note all the pink eggs on the reeds in the background. These are apple snail eggs and this is why this park has a lot of limpkins and is now hosting several Snail Kites.
