Celebrating 100 Years of History on the Palos Verdes Peninsula

Doors Open Peninsula 2023: Celebrating 100 Years of History on the Palos Verdes Peninsula

The Palos Verdes Peninsula is celebrating a big birthday in 2023 and the Local History Center is planning an event to commemorate this occasion.  It was on Saturday, June 17, 1923 that a real estate rally was held on what is now the Malaga Cove School grounds to entice people to move here.  This rally basically launched the modern Palos Verdes Peninsula development.

Working the Peninsula Friends of the Library (PFL) and Peninsula cities and organizations, the Local History Center is spearheading Doors Open Peninsula 2023: Celebrating 100 Years of History on the Palos Verdes Peninsula to commemorate this historic event.  DOP (like 'dope' without the 'e') 2023 is a Peninsula-wide open house and your opportunity to learn about the Peninsula's rich history, architecture, cultural institutions, people and open spaces in celebration of this milestone date. When will it be?  June 17, 2023 - exactly 100 years to the day of the original rally!

Stay tuned for more information and scheduled events for 2023!  In the meantime, Save the Date Saturday, June 17, 2023!
