About La Selva Beach, California
La Selva Beach is a community of 2,531 people in Santa Cruz County, on Monterey Bay. In 1925 the developer David W. Batchelor paid $50,000 for 270 acres along the bay and called the land Rob Roy, hoping to build a seaside town and a vacation resort. The Depression stopped the project, and in 1935 the property was sold to Edward Burghard of Los Angeles.
Under Burghard the place became La Selva Beach, pairing the Spanish words for "the forest" with the English word beach. When it began, thick conifer woods surrounded the little community. In 1947 residents organized a nonprofit association, and in 1949 that association bought the clubhouse that had gone up in 1935 as a sales office. The clubhouse has held the community's gatherings since it was built.
- Rob Roy lived on until 2000Batchelor's original name faded after 1935, but the Rob Roy Video Store kept it alive as the only business in the area to remember it. The store closed in 2000.
- Homes of the early 1960sBatchelor's resort never came to pass, but the town filled in later. Most of the houses standing in La Selva Beach today were built in the early 1960s.
- Taking "Beach" off the signsIn the 1970s residents persuaded the state government to drop the word "Beach" from the highway direction signs. The official name of the community never changed, and it is still La Selva Beach.
- Close to Loma Prieta in 1989The town sits near the San Andreas Fault. When the Loma Prieta earthquake struck on October 17, 1989, its epicenter was not far from La Selva Beach.
- A Fourth of July paradeEach summer children rehearse baton twirling and build floats while their parents work out routines with library push carts, all to get ready for the town's 4th of July Parade. The central park, Triangle Park, is shaped like a triangle and flies the flags of the world, and Manresa State Beach lies next door.
