1935, Pau Vila i Dinarès, Resum de geografia de Catalunya, IX:Al litoral comprès entre Badalona i Lloret de Mar, les terres de secà han estat convertides en quadres hortícoles amb la captació de l'aigua del subsòl; així s'ha creat l'anomenada "horta de Mataró", que produeix tota llei de verdures, especialment la patata primerenca i, entre Montgat i Mataró, les flors. El Maresme fou la comarca iniciadora de l'exportació hortícola, exportació que avui fomenta l'activitat comercial de gran part de la zona dels regatges litoralencs.- On the coast between Badalona and Lloret de Mar, unirrigated land was converted into garden plots with the capture of subsoil water; thus was created the so-called "garden of Mataró", which produces all manner of vegetables, especially early potatoes and--between Montgat and Mataró--flowers.
