Built to serve as a public school and town meeting hall, Colton Hall was named for Reverend Walter Colton who was appointed to serve as Alcalde or Chief Magistrate of the Monterey district. It now offers visitors a re-creation of the meeting room where California's first Constitution was drafted in October 1849 and exhibits on early Monterey. Colton Hall is a landmark in the City of Monterey, once the capital of Alta California.
