History

About 8,000 to 10,000 Chumash lived in the south coast of Santa Barbara County, when in 1542 Joao Cabrilho sailed through the Santa Barbara Channel and anchored there. In 1602, Sebastian Vizcaino gave the name Santa Barbara to the region. The history of Santa Barbara begins about 13,000 years ago. The first European residents came in 1782 and were under Felipe de Neve, where they came to build the Presidio and Mission. They were also there to stop the powers of England and Russia and to convert the natives to Christianity. When the Spanish came to Santa Barbara, they brought their families and built a group of adobes, which surrounded the Presidio. Decades to come the Spanish slowly started to convert the natives to Christianity but many of the natives died with such diseases such as smallpox. There was no natural medicine to stop the epidemic of the natives receiving smallpox.

In 1812, the strongest earthquake and tsunami happened in California’s history. This natural disaster destroyed the Mission and the rest of the town. So the Mission fathers decided to rebuild the Mission along with the town in a grander manner.  Today, the Mission still stands and is one of the best preserved missions in California.  In 1822, the Spanish epidemic ended with the Mexican War of Independence. Mexico’s flag went up the flagpole at the Presidio, but only lasted for 24 years. The “Ranchero Period”, was in 1833, when massive amounts of land was held by the Church and then distributed by the Mexican governs of California to various families in order to reward service and to build alliances. On December 27, 1846, which was during the Mexican-American War the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo became part of the expanding United States.

Middle and Late 19th Century
Santa Barbara’s population doubled between 1850 and 1860. Huge changes were beginning to happen such as, designed street grids, misaligning the streets, wood construction started to replace adobe, and American settlers begin to move to Santa Barbara. This created a town full of bandits and gamblers, and a dangerous anarchistic place. English started becoming the primary language instead of Spanish and in 1855 the first newspaper was founded called, The Santa Barbara Gazette. In 1863, the Ranchero Period ended due to a drought and cattle dying, which left rancheros broke. Many travelers came to visit and stayed because of writer Charles Nordhoff promoted Santa Barbara as a health resort. Once travelers came they never left.
Early 20th Century to World War II.  In the early 1900’s, oil was discovered at Summerland Oil Field, which is where Santa Barbara started drilling offshore. Santa Barbara became the first place in the world to drill for oil offshore.

Santa Barbara also became the largest movie studio during the era of silent films. Once the film industry outgrew and over populated Santa Barbara, then it moved to Hollywood. Also during this time period, the Loughead Aircraft Company was founded, which was later called Lockheed. On June 29, 1925, there was a destructive earthquake in Santa Barbara, which killed 14 people, but it did not cause a tsunami like in 1812. Today many of the famous buildings in Santa Barbara came from the rebuild movement, which was under the leadership of Pearl Chase. One of the famous buildings that were part of the rebuild was the Santa Barbara County Courthouse, which is considered one of the “most beautiful public buildings in the United States”. Santa Barbara was home to a Marine base, during World War II and treated servicemen that were wounded in the Pacific Theatre.  On February 23, 1942, a Japanese submarine surfaced offshore and tossed 16 shells at Elwood Oil Field, which is only 10 miles west of Santa Barbara. The damage was only $500 but it did cause many Santa Barbara residents to panic and flee their homes. Santa Barbara had four destructive fires : the 1964 Coyote Fire, which burned 67,000 acres along with 150 homes, the Sycamore Fire in 1977 which burned 200 homes, the 1990 Painted Cave Fire which burned over 500 homes in a few hours and the 2008 Tea Fire, which destroyed 210 homes before it was put out.
