Monterey Bay Colony

The Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of California

The Monterey Bay Colony covers the northern part of the Central California Coast from the Santa Cruz / Scotts Valley area in the north to San Miguel in the South and out to Los Banos in the East. Based in Monterey, the Colony was chartered in 1962 and has about 100 active members.

If you live within the general area on the map, this would be your preferred Primary Colony, so that you can actively participate better in Mayflower Society events within your local area. Annual Dues for the California Society are $75.00 per year. However, for a small fee of just $4.00 per Colony, you can become a dual member of one or more other Colonies within the State. That fee will be paid when your Annual Dues are paid.
