Scotts Valley, City center in Santa Cruz County, California

Scotts Valley sits at an elevation of 561 feet in the Santa Cruz Mountains, maintaining a Mediterranean climate with cool winters and warm summers.

The area originated as part of Rancho San Agustin, acquired by Hiram Daniel Scott in 1850, leading to the establishment of lumber and grain milling industries.

The city council organizes a yearly multicultural fair that brings together residents through food, music, and traditional performances from different communities.

State Route 17 serves as the main transportation artery connecting Scotts Valley to San Jose and Santa Cruz, with regular public transportation services.

Netflix founders Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph selected Scotts Valley as the original headquarters for their company in 1997, marking the beginning of digital streaming.
