SCOTTS VALLEY

Scotts Valley is situated in Northern Santa Cruz County. Just a short distance from Monterey Bay, Scotts Valley is nestled in the redwoods on the upland slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is about six miles north of Santa Cruz, 30 miles southwest of San Jose (Silicon Valley) and 68 miles south of San Francisco.

Scotts Valley is named after Hiram Scott, who settled in Santa Cruz and purchased Rancho San Augustin in 1850. The City is situated on part of his family's old ranch site.
