In 1890, Martin's Station had a school house and several ranches.[3]
Martin's Station was renamed in 1900 to "Neponset", after Neponset, Boston, Massachusetts.[2] In the early 1900s, several announcements of families living in Neponset were listed in The Californian newspaper. The Neponset Temperance Club was started by men of Neponset.[4]
Monte Road is a frontage road that runs beside State Route 1, south of the Salinas River crossing. The railroad tracks still exist outside the Dole Food Company plant. The tracks break off just at the staff parking lot. Neponset Road wraps around the plant on its southern edge.[5]
