Live Oak History
The best place to live in Santa Cruz County

About Us
We are a passionate group of Live Oak locals dedicated to sharing the rich history of our community.
Why is the history of Live Oak important?
Historically, Live Oak has often been viewed as merely a passage between Santa Cruz and Capitola. However, we aim to change that perception. Our main goal is to instill pride in our community, fostering a sense of belonging that inspires residents to get involved and contribute to making Live Oak an even better place to live.
Despite our diverse political views and beliefs, we hope that this project will unite us in a shared mission: enhancing the quality of life in Live Oak. A significant emphasis will be placed on educating our youth through our local elementary and middle schools.
