Reviews of California State Historical Landmark No. 1
"Beautiful place. Lots of history."
"Great place to visit. Lots of historical information here with some artifacts from that era. From inside the customs house you can see the bay where the United States prepared their invasion into Monterey. Lots of history here !"
"Can’t go inside, but has the history of the building in a plaque in front of the building"
"California Historical Landmark #1 holds significant historical value, and it's worth a visit to appreciate the rich history of the state. Nonetheless, an essential stop for history buffs."
"On winning its independence from Spain in 1821, Mexico repealed the Spanish laws forbidding foreign trade and the California hide and tallow trade soon developed with New England. The Mexican Government erected the Custom House at Monterey, then the capital of Mexican California, in 1827, and until 1845, this was the only custom house north of Mexico. It was here on July 7, 1846 Commodore John D. Sloat, commander of the U.S. Pacific squadron, first raised the American flag and officially proclaimed California to be a part of the United States."
