History
Early history
The area of present-day Goleta was populated for thousands of years by the native
The first European visitor to the Goleta area was the Spanish mariner
In 1602, another sailing expedition, led by
The first land
The island retained the name Mescalitan Island (dropping the extra Aztec "t") until it was bulldozed flat in 1941 to provide fill for the military airfield that is now Santa Barbara airport (SBA). The Wastewater Treatment Plant of the Goleta Sanitary District is located on what used to be the island.[17]
Portola returned to San Diego by the same route in January 1770, and mounted a second expedition to Monterey that year. A second Spanish expedition came to the Santa Barbara area of Alta California in 1774, led by Juan Bautista de Anza. De Anza returned the next year, and the road along the coast of Santa Barbara County (today's Highway 1) soon became the El Camino Real, connecting the string of Spanish missions.
An expedition in 1782, led by military governor
Sometime after the De Anza expeditions, a sailing ship ("goleta") was wrecked at the mouth of the lagoon, and remained visible for many years, giving the area its current name. After Mexico became independent of Spain in 1821, most of the former mission ranch lands were divided up into large grants. The Goleta area became part of two adjacent ranchos. To the east of today's Fairview Avenue was
The parts of Goleta to the west of Fairview Avenue were in
19th and 20th centuries
The Goleta Valley was a prominent lemon-growing region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was largely agricultural. Several areas, especially the Ellwood Mesa, were developed for
After the war, Goleta Valley residents supported the construction of
Incorporation
Goleta was incorporated as a city in 2002 after several unsuccessful attempts. A significant urbanized area remains unincorporated between the cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara, largely consisting of the area which polled against incorporation prior to the 2002 election (this area was excluded from the city boundaries to facilitate approval of incorporation). There has been some discussion of annexation of this area (sometimes dubbed "Noleta") by the city of Santa Barbara.
In addition, the student community of

Geography
Goleta is about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city of Santa Barbara, along the coast (the coast runs east to west in this portion of southern California). Nearby is the Santa Barbara campus of the University of California and the student community of Isla Vista.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 26.4 square miles (68 km2), of which 26.3 square miles (68 km2) are land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) (0.38%) is water.
Geology
The Goleta Valley is a
Underneath the alluvial units of the coastal plain are three prominent bedrock units: the Monterey Formation, the Sisquoc Formation, and the Santa Barbara Formation. This latter unit is the principal groundwater aquifer for the region, and its freshwater wells are protected from seawater intrusion by the uplift along the More Ranch Fault, which has placed relatively impermeable rock units between it and the ocean.[30]
Some of the underlying sedimentary units contain economically recoverable quantities of oil and gas. The Ellwood Oil Field was worked beginning in the 1920s, with its onshore portions only being dismantled in the 1970s. The La Goleta Gas Field was formerly productive on the bluffs west of More Mesa, and is now used for gas storage by the Southern California Gas Company.[31]
The Santa Ynez Mountains form a scenic backdrop to Goleta. They consist of multiple layers of sandstone and

Climate
Goleta has a mediterranean climate influenced by maritime winds from the Pacific Ocean with moderate average temperatures. Due to brief spells of winds from the interior, the warmest temperature on record is 109 °F (43 °C) and the coldest is 20 °F (−7 °C).[39] That is a relatively large thermal span for a shoreline town.
Chilly days and warm nights are rare. The coldest maximum temperature on record is 45 °F (7 °C) in 1949 with the annual average between 1991 and 2020 being 54 °F (12 °C).[39] The warmest night measured is a freak event of 81 °F (27 °C) during a heat snap in 1979, a full 10 °F (5.6 °C) warmer than the second warmest night on record.[39] During a regular year, the warmest night is at a mild 65 °F (18 °C).[39]

The Bacara Resort, located at the western edge of the city, also employs many residents.[45]
Cannabis
Following the statewide passage of Proposition 64 in 2016, the city began accepting retail applications on a first-come, first-served basis in August 2018. The City limits the number of recreational retail cannabis businesses to six. In November 2018, the voters of Goleta passed Measure Z-2018, establishing a tax on cannabis business operations within the city.
Energy
In 2017 the city established an ambitious goal of supplying 100% of the city's municipal facilities and community-wide electricity supply with renewable power by 2030. The city also resolved to have at least 50% of electricity use by municipal facilities come from renewable sources by 2025. In 2019 the City adopted a Strategic Energy Plan as a roadmap on how to accomplish this, which includes switching to Central Coast Community Energy as the default energy provider for its residences and businesses beginning in 2021.[48] The city is currently moving forward with a contract to install solar panels in the parking lot of City Hall in 2021 and exploring future opportunities for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and a microgrid, which will provide increased resiliency in case of a power disruption.[49]
Parks and recreation
Goleta has several parks, including Stow Park, Girsh Park, Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park, Lake Los Carneros and Coronado Butterfly preserve, the largest[50] over-wintering grove of the Monarch butterfly,[51] providing street access to the Ellwood Mesa Open Space[52] on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean with beach access from UCSB.[53] Goleta Beach County Park is just outside of the city limits.[54] Historic sites include the Stow House and the South Coast Railroad Museum.
Government
Until 2018, the five city council members took turns as mayor. In November, 2018, Paula Perotte was elected to a two-year term as Mayor, defeating fellow council member Michael Bennett. This was the first election in City history where residents voted for Mayor as opposed to the Mayor being selected by City Council for a one-year term. The city council also serves as the planning agency. City council, planning commission, and design review board meetings are televised on the local government-access television channel and available on the city's website.
Municipal Election History
Goleta's cityhood was established through Measure H-2001 in the November 2001 election. At this time, the first five members of the City Council were also elected, and they officially began their terms on February 1, 2002. Thereafter, the city has held elections during the November general election on even years. Terms of the City Council are 4 years. Until 2018 the Mayor was selected by the members of the City Council to serve a one-year term. In November 2016 voters approved Measure C-2016 which called for a directly elected Mayor with a term of two years, beginning in the next general election (2018). In November 2020 voters approved Measure O-2020 which changed the term of the Mayor from two years to four years.[55]
