SANTA CATALINA ISLAND HISTORYPeople have lived on

Santa Catalina Island for at least 7,000 years.

The Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo arrived on

Santa Catalina Island on October 7, 1542.

When the first Europeans arrived on Santa Catalina Island, the people living here called their island Pimu

and themselves Pimungans (or Pimuvit). By the mid-1820s, the few Pimungans left migrated or were moved to the mainland.

Santa Catalina Island was awarded by Mexican Governor Pio Pico to Thomas Robbins as a land grant in 1846.

The oldest fishing club in the United States was founded in Avalon in 1889.

In 1892 the Banning brothers purchased Santa Catalina Island.

In 1919 William Wrigley Jr. purchased controlling interest of Catalina Island.

In 1972 the Catalina Island Conservancy, a nonprofit organization, was formed

when the Wrigley and Offield families generously gifted 88% of Catalina Island

to be protected in perpetuity and available for nature-based recreation.

You can see our breathtaking national symbol, “The Bald Eagle,” soaring over Santa Catalina Island.
