Description: Title supplied by cataloger.; Oversized photograph.
This section of Pacific Coast Highway was formally dedicated as the 'Theodore Roosevelt Highway' when it was completed in 1929 and was generally known as the 'Roosevelt Highway' or 'Coast Highway' in the 1930s. It was designated as US 101A (Alternate) in 1936. State legislative action in 1964 changed many highway numbers in California, and US 101A became CA 1. In the same year, the state legislature offically named CA 1 'Pacific Coast Highway' in Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
Cliffs overlook landslides and floods as a result of a winter storm on this section of South US 101A at Will Rogers Beach in Pacific Palisades. Photograph dated January 18, 1952.
