Tucked among the vineyards in the Santa Maria Valley, Orcutt is a terrific community directly south of Santa Maria. It is named for William Warren Orcutt, a geologist who discovered fossils in the La Brea Tar Pits in 1901. Old Town Orcutt was established in 1904, and today this downtown area is home to shops, breweries, taverns, and wineries all wrapped in fantastic mountain views. Old Town Orcutt is located along Clark Avenue from roughly Gray Street to Broadway.
Orcutt is the ideal location for those commuting into Santa Maria for work, frequent travelers wishing to be close to the Santa Maria Airport, or students attending classes at Allan Hancock College. Located halfway between the mountains and the ocean, it’s also a great place for those who enjoy visiting both. Orcutt is home to several parks, including Orcutt Community Park. This park includes the Orcutt Trails, a multi-use trail system for horseback riding, cycling, dog-walking, jogging, and hiking. A dog park is also available.
