Moore, William T.
William T. Moore (February 6, 1884 - April 19, 1977) was a California surveyor and civil engineer. Moore was born in Cherry Hill, Maryland. He relocated to California sometime before 1910. In 1911, he married Mable Noble in Monterey, California. He worked for many years with the Del Monte Properties Co. In a 1937 city directory of Pacific Grove, California, he is noted as the 'chief engineer' of the Del Monte Properties, the developer responsible for building Pebble Beach (the company was reincorporated as the Pebble Beach Corporation in 1977, later renamed the Pebble Beach Company). In 1952, Moore was made a Vice President of Del Monte Properties and Head of the Engineering Department. Based on newspaper reports of the local Pacific Grove Tribune and other local newspapers, Moore was deeply involved in the local community through the Masonic Lodge, school district, Chamber of Commerce, and the Monterey County Planning Commission.
