"Little Chicago" 
The area around the rim of where Cap Sante Marina is now was called, for a time, "Little Chicago" likely in reference to the Hooverville-like structures built there. The comparison has been exaggerated as most of the structures were actually boat houses, though some people did live there and many did not have legal claim to the land the structures were built on.
In 1956, the residents were evicted and in 1957, the structures were burned in preparation for the construction of Cap Sante Marina.
