Did you know that in 1907 landowner May Rindge posted armed guards to fight the eminent domain action the court used to take her land in order to extend PCH through Malibu from Santa Monica? She finally lost in 1925 and the court granted the County her land in exchange for $107,289. PCH was originally called Roosevelt Highway.
