Soquel

Built around Soquel Creek, Soquel grew into an unincorporated community in Santa Cruz County, between the Santa Cruz Mountains and Monterey Bay. The creek runs from mountain headwaters to the bay at nearby Capitola, linking this settled valley with the coast. The surrounding area was once part of Rancho Soquel, a Mexican land grant awarded in 1833, which predates California’s statehood. Local businesses line Soquel Drive, while residential hillsides and agricultural land reflect the area’s long connection with the wider Santa Cruz coast.
