About location

Tucked into the broad Santa Maria Valley, Santa Maria is a city whose character is shaped by the fertile farmland surrounding its urban core. The Santa Maria River runs south of town, while the valley extends west toward California’s Central Coast and the Pacific Ocean. Agriculture has long underpinned local life, with vineyards, vegetable fields and berry farms spread across the plain. Santa Maria is especially associated with Santa Maria-style barbecue: beef tri-tip grilled over red-oak coals and traditionally served with pinquito beans, salsa and garlic bread. State Route 135 is one of the city’s principal north–south roads, linking its commercial districts with neighbouring valley communities.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
