Fort Bragg was founded in 1857 as a military garrison and incorporated as a city in 1889. It has a population of nearly 7,300 and attracts tourists from around the country to its Glass Beach, a beach with colorful glass stones. In the early 20th century, residents would throw appliances, glass, and vehicles over the cliffs. To reduce the size of the trash pile, they would burn it. City officials closed the area in 1967 to begin cleaning and attempting to restore the beach. Over the decades, waves from the ocean wore down the broken glass into smooth stones.
