Orcutt

Few communities in California have a history as closely tied to the early petroleum industry as Orcutt. Established in 1904 as a company town for Union Oil, it was named for the company geologist William Warren Orcutt. Old Town Orcutt preserves the settlement’s historic commercial core, with local businesses gathered along South Broadway. The community sits in the Santa Maria Valley of northern Santa Barbara County, where rolling inland hills meet an agricultural district known for winegrowing; the Pacific coastline lies to the west.
