Santa Margarita is a rural town, pop. ~ 1300, located in the northern interior (Salinas Valley) region of San Luis Obispo County, California. Situated along the central coast of California, the area features a Mediterranean climate. The town was laid out in 1889 on land that was part of the Santa Margarita Ranch.
