[[Before the Navy, Hunters Point was home to a Chinese shrimping village. In 1938 the Fire Department burned the remaining structures to make way for the Navy. In 1941, the 250-foot tall Avisadero Point at the very eastern end of the Point was dynamited and turned into landfill. Prev. Document]] Next Document
