Name
Lobitos means 'little wolves', a nickname for 'otters' in Spanish. It was originally named "Tunitas".[2]
History
The Ocean Shore Railroad, which operated between San Francisco and Tunitas Creek from 1907 to 1920, passed near the village. There was apparently no station in Lobitos.[3] Highway 1 originally passed through Lobitos; it was later rerouted to the west of the village, closely following the old railroad route.
Today, the portion of the former state highway through Lobitos has become Verde Road. The Lobitos Creek Cut-Off connects the village with Tunitas Creek Road, which runs between Highway 1 and State Route 35 (Skyline Boulevard).
