Carmelito
Carmelito was a planned settlement, initially called Point Lobos City, on Point Lobos in Monterey County, California. It was located just north of Carmel Highlands and about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Carmel on Highway 1. Sited on the former Rancho San Jose y Sur Chiquito, the Carmelo Land and Coal Company planned the subdivision in 1890 when their coal mine on nearby Malpaso Creek proved to be unprofitable. It subdivided the land into 1,000 parcels, which began selling lots for $25 to $50. The lack of a bridge across the Carmel River and two national economic recessions during the 1890s combined to severely restrict sales. Only a few small cabins were built.
