Price Historical Park is the home of the historic ranch and 1893 Price Anniversary House belonging to John Price, the founder of Pismo Beach.

First known as a vaquero, Juan Miguel Prais ran cattle on Rancho Pismo as majordomo for Isaac Sparks. He settled his wife Maria Andrea Carlon and their young family into old adobes on the rancho. California was just becoming a state at this time.

As American statehood settled over California, John Michael Price readopted his English name and language, established Rancho del Pizmo, and founded the town of Pizmo.
