The city of Grover Beach is nestled in the dunes of the California coastline in San Luis Obispo County. In 1842; Jose Ortego received a Mexican land grant and made the first claim on the area. Ortego sold his 8;838 acres to Isaac Sparks in 1867; and Sparks later sold half to John Price. Price sold his share to Dwight William Grover for $22;982.20 in gold. By 1887; Grover had filed with the county and founded the Town of Grover. Developers John F. Beckett in 1892 and Horace V. Bagwell in 1935 followed. Growing gradually; the city incorporated in 1959; changed its name to Grover Beach in 1992; and received Amtrak rail service in 1996--a permanent connection to the surrounding communities and commerce. The city has come full circle; from D. W. Grovers dream to reality.

Great for beach lovers everywhereBy Margaret J. ClarkeI gave this book to my husband paired with the HB Lifeguard book for the perfect gift. He couldnt put them down. as he grew up bodysurfing HB still goes out with his "crew" (ages 46-49)!!!! Still tearing it up! I also gave this book to a HB longboarder for Christmas - he appeared to love it also; I just wish now that I wouldve given him the lifeguard book also!
