Historical Committee: April 2026

HISTORICAL COMMITTEE
Can history progress? Those of us on the Historical Committee who are working to preserve the
history of Niguel Shores think so, and we are making progress. Our members have interviewed a
number of early residents and recorded their stories about Niguel Shores when the community was
being built and growing.
A Celebration for Longtime Residents—We are inviting our early residents, and other historically
interested com-munity members, to Legacy at the Shores—A Champagne Tea, on April 21 from 3 to 5
p.m. where we will raise a toast to celebrate their longevity and contributions to Niguel Shores.
Three of the residents in attendance who have lived here the longest will receive special prizes,
and others, a memento of those many years.
Our History On Display—Our Committee has collected a good many interesting documents, photos, and
memorabilia pertaining to Niguel Shores history. Most of these have been scanned and will be
available for viewing on our website in the near future. In addition, we are acquiring display
cases that will be mounted in the lobby of the Clubhouse to contain samples of these historical
items for your enjoyment.
So, you see, we have been busy—and we enjoy all these activities while meeting our “old timers,”
learning about historic preservation, and planning for the future. We call that progress.
