About the Title
Cannery Row is the name the author gives to an area on the coast of Monterey, California, occupied mainly by fish canneries. The author grew up close by and spent much of his adult life living just blocks from this street, which has since been officially named "Cannery Row" after the novel's success gave it notoriety.
