About Lompoc, California

Lompoc is a city of 44,444 people in Santa Barbara County, on California's Central Coast. The Chumash lived here for thousands of years and called the place lumpo'oΜ₯. Padre FermΓ­n de LasuΓ©n founded Mission La PurΓ­sima near the city's southern edge on December 8, 1787, as the 11th Spanish mission in California. An earthquake wrecked it in 1812, so the mission was rebuilt about 1 mile northeast of today's city.

Mexico secularized the missions in 1833, and La PurΓ­sima fell into ruins. In 1837 the Mexican government sold the land as Rancho Lompoc. Once California came under U.S. rule, settlers bought up the valley. William Welles Hollister sold the acreage near the old mission to a group called the Lompoc Valley Land Company. The company started a temperance colony there, and it was incorporated as Lompoc in 1888.

  • A diatomite mine since 1893A diatomaceous earth mine opened in Miguelito Canyon, in the hills south of town, in 1893. It is still the world's largest marine diatomite mine, and it was once the valley's biggest employer. Under Johns Manville it had more than 900 workers at its peak. The company built homes for them in town beside JM Park, which it gave to the city.
  • Houses from a shipwreckIn 1909 the Sibyl Marston went down near Lompoc with 1,100,000 board feet of lumber aboard. It was then the biggest steam schooner ever built on the West Coast. Many local houses were built with wood from its cargo, and its remains are still visible south of Surf Beach.
  • The Air Force's first missile baseDuring World War II the Army trained large units at Camp Cooke, west of town on the coast. In 1958 the Air Force picked the camp to test Thor missiles and base the Atlas. Renamed Vandenberg Air Force Base, it drew thousands of workers, and Lompoc grew fast. The city built hotels and restaurants for a planned West Coast shuttle program, but after the Challenger exploded in 1986 the program was cancelled and Lompoc sank into a deep recession.
  • The City of Arts and FlowersSeed flowers have long been a mainstay of farming in the valley. The Lompoc Valley Flower Festival brings a parade, carnival and craft show each year in the last week of June. After the September 11 attacks, the Bodger Seed Company grew a flag out of flowers in 2002. It covered 740 feet by 390 feet and used more than 400,000 larkspur plants.
