Scotts Valley

Tucked into the Santa Cruz Mountains of coastal California, Scotts Valley is a place whose character is shaped by wooded slopes and its position between Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz. The city occupies a small valley within the range, where redwood forest remains a defining feature of the wider landscape. Its name honours Hiram Daniel Scott, an early settler who arrived in the valley in the 1850s. Incorporated in 1966, Scotts Valley grew along the Highway 17 corridor, the main road through these mountains. It is now a residential and business community within Santa Cruz County.
