How Monterey Pines Apartments was built
The apartments on Williams Street were built in 1971, at the tail of the boom that turned Tustin from a farm town into a suburb. Through the 1960s the city's population grew by 1,012 percent, to 22,313, and by 1970 it was around 32,000. Groves came out, streets went in, and complexes like this one filled the blocks between Newport Avenue and Red Hill.
Williams Street itself is older than any of it. It was named for Albert C. Williams, who came to the Tustin area in 1874, and later for his son. That was the same year eight-year-old C.E. Utt rode into town in a covered wagon and found that Tustin City consisted of a big sounding name, one small store and a blacksmith shop, all of it hidden in a forest of wild mustard.
