Avalon is the only incorporated city on Santa Catalina Island, located approximately 22 miles off the coast of Southern California. Historically, the area was inhabited by the Tongva people for thousands of years before being claimed by European explorers. In the early 20th century, Avalon was developed as a resort destination by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr., who invested heavily in infrastructure including the iconic Casino building – a landmark Art Deco structure that continues to be a focal point for tourism. The town’s economy remains heavily reliant on tourism and recreation, benefitting from its Mediterranean climate and natural harbor. The island is accessible primarily by ferry or helicopter, contributing to its unique and somewhat isolated character.
