King City, Charter city in Monterey County, United States.
King City extends across agricultural lands in the Salinas Valley, situated at 102 meters elevation along the U.S. Route 101 highway.
The settlement originated in 1886 when Charles King acquired land in the area, leading to its incorporation as a city in 1911.
The Robert Stanton Auditorium, constructed in 1939, features Art Moderne architecture and contains artistic works created by Jo Mora.
Monterey-Salinas Transit provides bus services throughout the region, connecting King City with other municipalities in Monterey County.
The area was formerly called Hog Town due to wild pigs that inhabited the surrounding fields before the official name change.
