The Story Of Pancho Omorrobay

Pancho Pablo Juan Carlos Omorrobay's Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather Giuseppi Omorrabay was the founding father of what is now known as Morro Bay California. Back in the 16th Century the area was known as Omorrobay. As time went on and California was overrun with drunken gold seekers the name Omorrobay was mysteriously changed to Morro Bay. Legend has it the famous John Sutter himself (owner of Sutter's Mill where gold was discovered in 1848) misspelled Omorrobay as Morro Bay when he sketched out a map for John C. Fremont. Because of this error, Fremont noted the incorrect spelling of Morro Bay on his Master Map, thus inscribing this mistaken name forever in the annals California’s history.
