Carpinteria, Coastal city in Santa Barbara County, United States.
Carpinteria extends along the Pacific coast between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the ocean, covering 9.2 square miles of California's central region.
The Spanish Portola expedition discovered a Chumash settlement called Šujtu in 1769, where natives operated carpentry workshops near the current pier location.
The California Avocado Festival in October brings 80,000 visitors to experience local agriculture, music performances, and regional food specialties.
The city center contains multiple public facilities, including schools, a library, city hall services, and an Amtrak station connected to Route 101.
Natural petroleum seeps at Tar Pits Park reveal the same asphalt deposits that Chumash people used to seal their wooden canoes centuries ago.
