Carmel Valley Village (Californie)
Résumé
Carmel Valley Village is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Monterey County, California, United States. In 1946, Byington Ford and Tirey L. Ford Jr. developed the Carmel Valley Village, which included an airpark, shops, and homes. At the time of the 2020 census the CDP population was 4,524, up from 4,407 at the 2010 census. In November 2009, a majority of residents voted against incorporation.
The Rancho Los Laureles, a Mexican land grant in present-day Monterey County, was given in 1839 by Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado to José Manuel Boronda and Vicente Blas Martínez. The grant extended along the Carmel River and the Carmel Valley, and encompassed present-day Carmel Valley Village. In 1882, the Pacific Improvement Company (PIC) purchased the Rancho Los Laureles. In 1916, Samuel F.B. Morse became the manager of the PIC; his job was to liquidate the PIC holdings (). In 1919, Morse formed the Del Monte Properties and acquired PIC. In 1923, the Del Monte Properties divided the land into 11 parcels. Marion Hollins bought . In 1926, developer Frank B. Porter bought . He later acquired a portion of the Hollins ranch and sold it to Byington Ford. Ford and his wife Marion used as a summer ranch and named it Moon Trail Ranch. It was located at Via Las Encinas in Carmel Valley.
In 1946, Byington Ford and his brother, Tirey Ford Jr., developed the "Airway Village" that years later was renamed the Carmel Valley Village. It included an Airway Market. By 1947, the Airway General Store, barbershop, drug store (with soda fountain), beauty shop, Stirrup Cup bar, and the Grapevine liquor store had been built. All were in walking distance of the Airpark and decorated to resemble a Mexican village. Artist Bruce Ariss painted murals on each store to resemble a Spanish village.
Ford and his brother developed the Carmel Valley Airfield for pilot-owners who would want to be "at home a minute or two after getting out of their planes.
