About Us
The story of The Old Custom House actually had its beginning in 1542 when Don Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo discovered the San Luis Bay and named it Todos Santos (All Saints) because of its beauty. After that, there was a slight lull in the ports history-just a bit over 200 years of obscurity (things tended to move slow in those days.)
In 1772, after the building of the Mission San Luis De Tolosa, events started to gain momentum. Ranchers and merchants came in, and as the population grew, so did the need for supplies. Shipping became common in the first half of the 19th Century using Cave Landing as the port ‘o’ call. But because passengers had to climb a rope ladder up and over the rocky cliffs and supplies had to be lifted up with massive cranes, Cave Landing’s history was a short one.
