City of Salinas Salinas
and the Salinas Valley offer a unique combination of climate, natural resources and
people. The City of Salinas was born after Mexico seceded from Spain in 1822 and began
granting rancho lands. Named for a nearby salt marsh, Salinas became the seat of Monterey
County in 1872 and incorporated in 1874. Today the Salinas Valley is known as
"The Salad Bowl of the World" for the production of lettuce, broccoli, mushrooms
and strawberries, along with numerous other crops. The climate is also ideal for the
floral industry and grape vineyards planted by world-famous vintners.
