Title: Carmel-by-the-Sea, California
Passage: Carmel-by-the-Sea, /kɑːrˈmɛl/ often simply called Carmel, is a city in Monterey County, California, United States, founded in 1902 and incorporated on October 31, 1916. Situated on the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel is known for its natural scenery and rich artistic history. In 1906, the San Francisco Call devoted a full page to the ``artists, writers and poets at Carmel-by-the-Sea'', and in 1910 it reported that 60 percent of Carmel's houses were built by citizens who were ``devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic arts.'' Early City Councils were dominated by artists, and the city has had several mayors who were poets or actors, including Herbert Heron, founder of the Forest Theater, bohemian writer and actor Perry Newberry, and actor-director Clint Eastwood.
