Historically, the Dana Point area was a hide and ship trading port. The area was later developed as a resort town by prominent investors. The area was built in the Spanish style with white adobe houses and sidewalks. The streetlights were modeled after maritime signal lanterns. The street names were chosen to reflect the seafarers' maritime-style homes. However, development slowed during the Great Depression and the 1929 stock market crash.
