The Bragg Story - 100 Glorious Years

I have seen so much change in the city of Goleta as a native Santa Barbaran, a business owner, a mother of three and a Goleta homeowner. Goleta has always had plenty of families but in the past 10 years it has evolved into a real community with so much to do. Parents can find it all by using SBParent.com's ABC's of Goleta. Tourists will have fun exploring Goleta with their kids. Locals can use this list to try something new each week and learn more about their community.

Goleta's proximity to UCSB helps enrich the community in a myriad of ways. As Santa Barbara County's largest employer, with almost 10,000 people on staff, UCSB obviously brings tremendous financial resources to the area. The university provides at least 5 percent of the county's economy and more than 8 percent of the South Coast's economy, according to Bill Watkins, executive director of the UCSB Economic Forecast Project.
