Santa Maria (Spanish for “St. Mary”) is a city in the Central Coast of California in northern Santa Barbara County. It is approximately 65 miles (105ย km) northwest of Santa Barbara and 150 miles (240ย km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Its population was 109,707 at the 2020 census, making it the most populous city in the county and the Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA Metro Area. The city is notable for its wine industry and Santa Maria-style barbecue.
The Santa Maria Valley, stretching from the Santa Lucia Mountains toward the Pacific Ocean, was the homeland of the Chumash people for several thousand years. The Native Americans made their homes on the slopes of the surrounding hills along with the oaks, on the banks of the Santa Maria River in the midst of the sycamores, and along the coast. They had unique plank-built boats, called Tomol, which they used for ocean fishing.
In 1769, the Portolรก Expedition passed through the Santa Maria Valley during the first Spanish house exploration happening the coast of Las Californias Province. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa was traditional just north of the valley in 1772, and Mission La Purรญsima Concepciรณn was established close present-day Lompoc in 1787. Rather than wealthy soil, white settlers were attracted here by the possibility of pardon land. In 1821, after the Mexican War of Independence, the mission lands in Santa Maria Valley were made manageable for private ownership below a Mexican land assent called Rancho Punta de Laguna. At the halt of the Mexican War in 1848, California was ceded to the United States, and was granted statehood in the same way as the Compromise of 1850.
