Santa Cruz Sentinel Article, Oct. 23, 1989 Courtesy Santa Cruz Public Library After the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, many Watsonville residents chose to remain in Callaghan Park, an unofficial encampment. The article details multiple reasons for this, including distrust of the government, fear of aftershocks, and proximity to schools and businesses.
