SALINAS - MARIJUANA IN THE CITY
"Salinas has almost no significant Marijuana related crime to report of late, which is most probably due to City Hall and the Police force pro-cannabis actions and policies."
In this article we talk about some interesting facts about the city with a focus on the main issue, Marijuana.
We address the important and frequently asked questions about MMJ:
About Salinas
With a population of about 160.000, Salinas ranks as the 34th largest city in California. Today, Salinas housing is largely composed of single family dwellings and modest apartments. The city serves as an industrial and government center for the surrounding areas. Salinas is well known for its robust and vibrant agricultural industry.
Salinas earned the nickname, "America's Salad Bowl", because the majority of salad greens consumed in the U.S. are grown in the surrounding valley. Major crops include strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, wine grapes, and celery. The city itself was named after the Spanish term - salinas which means "salt marsh".
Did you know? Salinas is hometown to Nobel Prize in Literature winner John Steinbeck.
The Salinas lands were thought to be first populated more than two thousand years ago by a native group known as the Rumsen people. About three hundred years ago, the Spanish self-proclaimed the territory to be the land of the King. They established missions and Rancho's throughout SoCal. Lands were mostly used for cattle and grazing. Cattle hide production and trading was an important early industry.
When California became a state, it was the perfect storm for growth and development. The government was negligible and encouraged, rather than discouraged growth. The gold rush would bring in $10 billion (in today's dollars) in gold; to an economy that had 350,000 people. The Americans won the war with Mexico, opening up the state to rich east coast Anglo investors.
It was the wild west and it was free. Still, without pocket money and hard work, people were in for a tough life. On the contrary, if you had a little coin, had a brain and worked hard your chances of great success were nearly 100%. As the Spanish lands came up for grabs, cheap, there was an infrastructure from which to build, immediately.
Salinas opened its first post office in 1854 and a hotel nearby to service a stagecoach route. From that basic core, a settlement caught on. The city was incorporated in 1874. In the 1880's, Salinas was into "dry farming", of wheat, barley, grains, potatoes and mustard seed. Chinese laborers drained the many square miles of swampland to create productive farmland.
Did you know?
At one time, Salinas Chinatown was second in size only to San Francisco. Due entirely due to Salinas booming agriculture business, in the 1920's, Salinas residents had the highest per capita income of any city in the United States.
World War II unfortunately brought a detention camp to town housing 3600 Japanese-American detainees. It an act of perhaps the ultimate insanity, the lands that had made the citizens among the richest on the planet were converted into housing projects by land developers.
Today the economy is still based on agriculture with a significant presence of public sector employers.
