Conservancy gains vast Santa Catalina Island lands in gift

The Santa Catalina Island Conservancy, a nonprofit founded in 1972, now owns most of Santa Catalina Island including over 47 miles of shoreline and 900 000 visitor days in 1974. A 50 year open space easement limits development on 41 000 of 42 135 acres, funded by a gift of Santa Catalina Island stock from the Wrigley family.

Wrigley Shapes Catalina Island Development

William Wrigley Jr. bought control of the Santa Catalina Island Company in 1919 and, until his death in 1932, dedicated vast energy to Catalina. He added steamships, utilities, a hotel, a casino, and extensive plantings of trees and flowers, leaving a lasting legacy.
