About Live Oak, Santa Cruz County, California
Live Oak is a community of 17,038 people in Santa Cruz County, between the cities of Santa Cruz and Capitola. Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people lived on this land for several thousand years. After Mission Santa Cruz was founded in 1791, Spanish settlers from the pueblo of Villa de Branciforte grazed their cattle and horses here on shared common land. Governors then split the area between two brothers, Alejandro and Francisco Rodriguez, in 1834 and 1837.
Gold was found in California in 1848, and statehood followed in 1849. Legal fights then passed the brothers' land to a handful of settler farmers, who grew wheat, oats and barley. In 1872 the farmers opened a small schoolhouse. They named it the Live Oak School for the evergreen oaks that grow across the area, and the school district still keeps a facility on that spot, now the corner of 17th Avenue and Capitola Road.
- Chicken ranches from 1910Around 1910 Frank and David Wilson, brothers who sold real estate in Santa Cruz, bought several old wheat farms and divided them into long, narrow lots, usually 2.5 acres. Buyers got the parts to build a small two-bedroom house plus one or two large coops holding 500 or 1,000 birds, and a feed mill followed. Early in the Great Depression egg prices crashed, and in 1931 Pullorum Disease and Coccidiosis swept the coops.
- Callas, freesias and begoniasAfter fifty years of wheat and oats, the soil was worn out. Farmers switched to fruits and vegetables, but those crops needed too much water, and the farms failed. A bulb nursery near 17th Avenue and East Cliff Drive grew callas, narcissus, freesias and begonias. Begonia nurseries did well through the 1940s and into the 1950s.
- Numbered streets, no cityIn the 1950s Live Oak was turning into a suburb of Santa Cruz. Its north-south streets got numbers running west to east, because people expected Santa Cruz to annex the area. That never happened. A push to make Live Oak its own city was also dropped, since services would cost too much. In the 1970s Capitola took in the busy shopping district along 41st Avenue, and Santa Cruz County still governs Live Oak.
- 17th Avenue as Main StreetLive Oak has no downtown. Its public life gathers on 17th Avenue, on the stretch from Highway 1 down to East Cliff Drive, where you'll find schools, the Grange Hall, the fire station, a sheriff's office, the Family Swim Center and most local businesses.
