HistoryThe earliest culture that left evidence of the Moss Landing Elkhorn Slough area was that of the Ohlone Indians. Evidence from archaeological digs show that they may have lived here as long ago as 4,000 years. The Spanish took the landscape from the Ohlone Indians when they began settling missions in the 1700s and ran cattle over the hills of the surrounding area. The Americans arrived in the mid-1800s and farmers turned the area into cropland. Moss Landing was originally called Moss.[5] The Moss post office opened in 1895, and changed its name to Moss Landing in 1917.[5] It is named for Charles Moss, a Texas ship captain who with a partner built a wharf there.[5][6] It became a busy whaling and fishing port and a location for fish processing plants and canneries. The Moss Landing Harbor District, established in the 1940s, dredged channels and built piers. Moss Landing Power Plant opened in 1950. The California State University system founded Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in 1966 (it was relocated after the Loma Prieta Earthquake destroyed the facility in 1989), and in the mid-1990s the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute was moved to Moss Landing from Pacific Grove. In the 1980s sanitary sewers were installed.[6] GeographyMoss Landing is located where Elkhorn Slough makes an estuary as it flows into Monterey Bay at the head of the submarine Monterey Canyon.[6] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of {{convert|0.6|sqmi|km2}}, of which, {{convert|0.4|sqmi|km2}} of it is land and {{convert|0.2|sqmi|km2}} of it (34.06%) is water.
