Santa Barbara (Spanish for 'Saint Barbara') is the county seat of Santa Barbara County in the U.S. state of California. Situated on a south-facing section of coastline, the longest such section on the West Coast of the United States, the city lies between the steeply rising Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Old Mission Santa Barbara was established in 1786, and it still stands today as a prominent part of the local culture and history. Known to be 'the Queen of the Missions', the missionary is home to the Franciscan friars.
