Carmel-by-the-Sea

Carmel

The Oxford Companion to American Literature | 1995 | | Copyright

Carmel, (Or Carmel‐By‐The‐Sea)California town 100 miles south of San Francisco, derives its name from that given to the bay (1602) by Carmelite monks from Palestine, who accompanied the Spanish discoverer Vizcaino. In 1769 the neighboring town of Monterey was founded by Portolá, and its mission established by Serra. Monterey, as capital of the Mexican province of California, is described in Two Years Before the Mast. It was captured by Sloat (1846), and later became the capital of territorial California until the admission of the state (1850). It has been written about by Stevenson and Steinbeck, temporary residents. Carmel became an artists' colony (c. 1904) when Mary Austin, Sterling, and others moved there; later residents have included Upton Sinclair, Sinclair Lewis, Steffens, and Jeffers. Henry Miller lived at nearby Big Sur.
