Nestled among the spreading oaks of Santa Cruz County; just north of Monterey Bay; lies the city of Scotts Valley. First used as a hunting and camping spot on a Native American trading route; and later a stop on the stage route over the Santa Cruz Mountains; Scotts Valley has a long tradition of providing respite to weary travelers. Hiram Scott purchased the 4;447-acre Rancho San Agustin in 1850; built the community�s first wood-frame house; and sold parcels of land that became dairies; farms; ranches; and lumber mills. In the 20th century; with the popularity of the family automobile; several attractions were opened throughout the valley. Travelers escaped the summer heat by flocking to the Tree Circus; Santa�s Village; and the Lost World. Today; Scotts Valley remains a family-oriented community offering small-town charm and hospitality.
