A fishing village --with schools, churches, temples, stores-- existed here for nearly half a century until the relocation of Japanese Americans following Pearl Harbor. A monument on Seaside Avenue was championed by the Terminal Islanders Club, survivors and descendants of the residents, which marks the site, including a statue of two fisherman and a torii gate. The footprint of some of the streets still remain, although the entire village was razed. Most of the residents were Nissei American citizens --not all the residents were even Japanese; there was an artist colony nearby as well. Add your Comment
