King City: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

King City is a small agricultural community located in the Salinas Valley of Monterey County, California. Founded in the late 19th century, the city was named after Charles King, who established a ranch in the area. The city's economy is primarily based on agriculture, particularly known for its production of vegetables, wine grapes, and other crops in the fertile valley soil.

The area's cultural heritage is deeply rooted in its agricultural history, with influences from Native American, Spanish, and Mexican cultures. The city serves as a gateway to attractions such as Pinnacles National Park and maintains its character as a working agricultural town while preserving its historical landmarks and cultural traditions.
