TUNAVILLE
VILLAGE LIGHTS PLAQUES
Tunaville was home to Portuguese immigrants as far back as 1885, and by the 1940’s had become a bustling tuna fishermen’s haven. Early Portuguese fishing settlements grew along the base of Kellogg and McCall streets in La Playa and Roseville, when the natural tidelands meandered as far inland as today’s Scott Street. By 1933, the larger St. Agnes Catholic Church was completed with funding from the fishermen. St. Agnes’ campanile included a lighted statue of Our Lady of Good Voyage, an ever-present beacon for fishing boats returning from sea.
