History of Los Olivos

Mexican ranchos associated with Los Olivos history are Zaca (1838), La Laguna 1840 & 45), College (1844), Jonata and Corral de Quati (1845).

The Keenan/ Hartley home (1882), is the oldest wooden home in Los Olivos (Santa Barbara County landmark). This redwood, balloon (single-walled) house has undergone several additions and was recently moved to the Mattei property. Restored, it is now the Wildling Art Museum.
