New Monument Inaugurated in Downtown Cabo

BY DAVID FLORES

It is dedicated to the “Californidad,” which is an expression of pride for being part of the three Californias: Baja California Sur, Baja California (north) and the U.S. California. According to historians, the first place to be called California was Cabo San Lucas sometime between 1533 and 1536. The Day is celebrated every November 14 and the new monument stands at Amelia Wilkes Park in downtown Cabo San Lucas.
