Santa Monica (Spanish: Santa Mónica, lit. ‘Saint Monica‘) is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. It is situated along Santa Monica Bay on California‘s South Coast. As of the 2020 census, Santa Monica had a population of 93,076.[12] Companies including Hulu, Activision Blizzard, Game Show Network, Universal Music Group, Starz Entertainment, Lionsgate Studios, Illumination, and Snap Inc. are headquartered in Santa Monica.
Santa Monica traces its history to Rancho San Vicente y Santa Mónica, granted in 1839 to the Sepúlveda family of California. The rancho was later sold to John P. Jones and Robert Baker, who, in 1875, along with his Californio heiress wife Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker, founded Santa Monica, which incorporated as a city in 1886. The city developed into a seaside resort during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the creation of tourist attractions such as Palisades Park, the Santa Monica Pier, Ocean Park, and the Hotel Casa del Mar. It is bounded by the City of Los Angeles on all sides except for the western part, which is bordered by the Pacific Ocean.
