When you land
Things to do in San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo grew up around a Spanish mission founded in 1772, and today it is the county seat and the cultural center of California’s Central Coast. Cal Poly is the largest employer and gives the city a lively, educated college-town feel, while county government, health care, tourism, wine and a growing technology sector fill out the economy. Downtown’s creekside paths, historic buildings and Thursday night farmers market are regularly cited as reasons people relocate here.
