Seaside History
The history of the city makes it seem like a community of change. Until a few years ago, Ford Ord managed a training facility on a tract of land that the U.S. Army purchased in Seaside. The entry of soldiers and their visiting families influenced the shape of business in the city. Ford Ord is still fresh in the minds of citizens of the city. Seaside today occupies just a little less than 9 square miles of land along the ocean next to one of the nation's largest national marine life sanctuaries in Monterey Bay.
