Carpinteria is a coastal city located in Santa Barbara County, California, approximately 12 miles southeast of Santa Barbara. The city gets its name from the Spanish word for "carpentry," referring to the shipbuilding industry that flourished in the area during the 1700s when the Chumash Indians used naturally-occurring tar to seal their wooden canoes.

Today, Carpinteria is known for its small-town charm, beautiful beaches, and agricultural heritage, particularly for its avocado orchards and flower farms. The city embraces its cultural history through various local institutions and events, including the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History, which preserves and shares the area's rich past. The community maintains strong ties to both its Spanish colonial heritage and its contemporary artistic scene, hosting regular cultural events and festivals that celebrate its diverse history.
