History

The town was laid out by Frank Porter in 1926.[2] Porter bought 600 acres in the southeast corner of the 11,000-acre Rancho Los Laureles Ranch. They named the tract Robles del Rio, “oaks by the river.”[3] The Robles del Rio post office operated from 1941 to 1952, when service was transferred to Carmel Valley.[2]

In 1932, Porter built the Robles Del Rio Lodge that was on 10-acres, included 32 guest rooms, indoor and outdoor dining, pool, spa, tennis courts and horse stables. He sold the lodge on 15 February 1939 to David Prince and William Woods.[4]
