Sherman and Clark renamed the land " Del Rey".
Sherman purchased 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land around the Ballona lagoon and Port Ballona in 1902 under the name the Beach Land Company. Port Ballona made by Louis Mesmer and Moye Wicks was then sold to Moses Sherman. Chace, a former councilman of the City of Long Beach, who later became a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, referred to the area as mud flats, though today the area would more properly be referred to as an estuary and wetland. The area became frequented by duck hunters, including their hunting club, as well as by birdwatchers of the Los Angeles Audubon Society and the southern chapter of the Cooper Ornithological Club. He formed the Ballona Development Company in 1888 to develop the area, but three years later the company went bankrupt. Wicks thought of turning this estuary and wetland of Playa del Rey into a commercial port. With the increasing arrival of European settlers, in the mid-19th century, Moye C. The village of Guashna was a major regional trade center between villages on the islands and the mainland. Fishing and shellfish harvesting were common. The area was frequented by the Tongva, who used plank boats known as te'aats to traverse the waters and paddle out to the Channel Islands. Prior to its development as a small-craft harbor, the land occupied by Marina del Rey was a salt marsh fed by fresh water from Ballona Creek.
