The Santa Ynez Valley is an area rich in history due in part to the number of cultures that have called the valley home over the past few centuries. The original occupants of the Santa Ynez valley were the Chumash Indians and 150 descendants of mixed blood still remain in the valley on the Indian reservation there.

The first European settlers to greet the Chumash Indians in the valley were the Spaniards. This was during the time that Spain still owned California. Once California was turned over to the Mexican government by Spain in 1834, Mexicans began to occupy the valley.
After California became part of the United States in 1850, Americans in the valley founded the towns of Ballard, Los Alamos, Santa Ynez, and Los Olivos. At the dawn of the 20th century Danish-American settlers arrived in the valley and founded the town of Solvang, a place that today is still rich in Danish culture. Finally in 1920 the town of Buellton was established.

In the midst of the cultural transitions over recent centuries, the Santa Ynez Valley saw much use in the way of ranching and farming. Over the years the land has been home to crops of olives, cherries, apples, quinces, prunes, tomatoes, corn, beans, and walnuts. The valley is also home to many vineyards with over 70 outstanding wineries turning out award-winning wines each year.
