1925 Santa Barbara Earthquake
The 1925 earthquake and its aftermath truly transformed Santa Barbara. The centennial of this devastating event comes at a particularly critical time for Santa Barbara; a time that invites reflection on the theme of then and now and what we can learn from the past. After the 1925 earthquake, Santa Barbarans rolled up their sleeves and rebuilt this City in ways that still endow it with a unique urban and architectural character. The civic effort involved in rebuilding/revitalizing the City merits acknowledgment and celebration.
