Criteria
Historical significance is determined by meeting at least one of the criteria listed below:[1]
- Approved for designation by the County Board of Supervisors or the City/Town Council in whose jurisdiction it is located
- Be recommended by the California State Historical Resources Commission
- Be officially designated by the Director of California State Parks[1]
Other designations
California Historical Landmarks of #770 and above are automatically listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.
By contrast, a site, building, feature, or event that is of local (city or county) significance may be designated as a California Point of Historical Interest.[1]
