Santa Barbara, California is the seat of Santa Barbara County. Santa Barbara is located in a region of California known as the "American Riviera" or California's "South Coast" because of its southerly coastline and striking similarity in geography and climate to the French and Italian regions along the Mediterranean coast. The late 19th century discovery of oil in the Summerland Oil Field in the Santa Barbara area led to the first offshore oil development in the world. In an effort to suppress the urban sprawl that is characteristic of the Los Angeles area, Santa Barbara initiated an anti-growth movement during the 1970's that effectively halted their population at just under 90,000 residents.
