City - San Luis Obispo

San Luis Obispo sits roughly midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles along California's Central Coast, occupying a compact 14 square miles where the Santa Lucia Mountains meet a Mediterranean climate that rarely overstays its welcome. Founded in 1772 around Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, the city carries centuries of history into a present shaped largely by California Polytechnic State University, whose campus anchors the north end of town and drives much of the local economy, research activity, and intellectual energy. Downtown draws residents with Victorian-era storefronts, a well-known Thursday night Farmers Market, and streets designed with cyclists in mind — the city holds a Gold-level Bicycle Friendly Community designation. Neighborhoods range from the historic Old Town district, with homes dating to the 1880s, to newer residential areas closer to Cal Poly.
