"The Odd Fellows Building at 526 Main Street, Half Moon Bay has been the home to Ocean View Lodge #143, Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) since April 18, 1868. Ocean View Lodge members were instrumental in the incorporation of the City of Half Moon Bay. The first Mayor John "Nick" Carter and the original city councilmen were members of this fraternal benevolent society. Ocean View Lodge donated land for the first developed city park- Ocean View Park and developed the first low cost senior housing facility on the San Mateo County Coastside- Ocean View Plaza, which it sponsors to this day as part of its ongoing benevolent work for over 140 years."
