In 1769 the Spanish explorer Don Gaspar de Portola discovered
the land area which is now known as the City of Santa Cruz. When he came upon
the beautiful flowing river, he named it San Lorenzo in honor of Saint Lawrence.
He called the rolling hills above the river Santa Cruz, which means holy cross.
Twenty-two years later, in 1791, Father Fermin de Lasuen established a mission
at Santa Cruz, the twelfth mission to be founded in California. Across the San
Lorenzo River, in what is now known as East Santa Cruz, Villa de Branciforte was
established It was founded by the Spanish as one of three civil settlements or
pueblos in California. The other pueblos were San Jose and Los Angeles. Villa de
Branciforte later merged with the Mission Santa Cruz community across the river.
By the 1820’s Mexico had assumed control of the area and within the next twenty
years, Americans began to arrive in great numbers. California became a state in
1849, and Santa Cruz County was created in 1850 as one of the twenty-seven
original counties.

By the turn of the century logging, lime processing, agriculture, and commercial
fishing industries prospered in the area. Due to its mild climate and scenic
beauty Santa Cruz also became a prominent resort community.
Santa
Cruz was incorporated in 1866 as a town under the laws of the State of
California and received its first charter as a city in 1876. At that lime the
city was governed by a Mayor and Common Council consisting of fourmembers.
In 1907, the citizens voted for a new charter designating a Mayor as chief
executive and a City Council consisting of seven members. Subsequent charters
gave a Mayor and four Commissioners both executive and administrative powers. At
that time the city was divided into five departments: Public Affairs, Revenue
and Finance, Public Health and Safety, Public Works, and Streets and Parks.
In
1948, the City of Santa Cruz adopted a new City Charter. This charter
established a Council-Manager form of government, with a Mayor and six
Councilmembers setting policy for the city and a city manager serving as the
chief administrator of those policies. The Charter, with amendments, is still in
existence today.
