About this landmark
Plaque text:
Camp Capitola Superintendent's Office
California's first seaside resort community was established here in 1869 by Mr. F.A. Hihn. The grand opening was held on July 4, 1874, for the 15 acre resort, located in the present village and Depot Hill areas. The Superintendent's office, built from local redwood in the 1880's, served as the headquarters for Camp Capitola until 1930.
