ANSWERS: 1

Santa Venetia is built on marshland that was filled in 1914. At that time, real estate developer Mabry McMahan envisioned a bayside luxury development modeled after Venice, Italy (hence the name "Santa Venetia"), complete with canals and gondolas. The economic decline following the First World War put an end to this development. It was only after the Second World War that significant development took place in Santa Venetia, with suburban developments such as Gallinas Village being built on the land originally filled in 1914. http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/lb/main/crm/ephemera/santavenetia/svmain.html http://www.northbridgehomeowners.org/northbridgehomeowners/page.html?page_id Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Venetia%2C_California
