Santa Cruz Historical Factoid
The city of Santa Cruz, CA has a rich and varied history that spans thousands of years. Indigenous people have been living in the Santa Cruz region for at least 12,000 years. Prior to the arrival of Spanish soldiers, missionaries and colonists in the late 18th century, the area was home to the Awaswas nation of Ohlone people, who lived in a territory stretching slightly north of Davenport to Rio Del Mar. The Awaswas tribe was made up of approximately one thousand people, and their language is now extinct. Santa Cruz was officially incorporated in 1866 as a town under the laws of the State of California, and it received its first charter as a city in 1876. At that time, the city was governed by a Mayor and Common Council consisting of four members. In 1907, the citizens voted for a new charter that designated a Mayor as the chief executive and a City Council consisting of seven members. Over the years, subsequent charters gave a Mayor and four Commissioners both executive and administrative powers. Source: https://www.cityofsantacruz.com/government/about-us/history-of-santa-cruz
