In the early 1800s travelers upon this highway, once a part of the historic Walton Road, were mystifiend by a large stone which stood at this spot. It was believed to have been erected by Indians at some remote date. Because of the intriguing landmark, the first settlers here-about named the area Standing Stone. What remains of the monolith is preserved in a park on the eastern edge of Monterey.
