I guess it's only fair that the County has these little enclaves since SB City claims the airport and all of the valuable surrounding property. BTW, Laurel Canyon Road is even stranger...only the road is county all the way down to Foothill where it encloses one large property..

@609 - Yes, I agree with you. And SB City scooped up Coast Village Road, which is surrounded by Montecito. I didn't realize that about Laurel Canyon, but having lived on Foothill between Alamar and Mission Cyn. at one point in my life I do know that the houses on the mountain side of the road are located in the county, while those across the street are located in the city. Politics, I guess.

Don't forget Hope Ranch Annex, it has its own fascinating history starting with its initial development in the 1920-30's by Pearl Chase. The area was a national model for neighborhood development, each property sold had an alfalfa lawn, a modest house with one car garage, on large lots, and 35 count em 35 decidous and fruit trees! Apparently it won some awards and was copied around the country. Still in the county not city, no streetlights or sidewalks, lovely!

Earle Warren, home to the visiting Gem Faire bead shows--gets me to travel to and drop $$ into the county coffers. Also saw (InnaGoddaDaVida, Baby) Iron Butterfly there in 1968. Cops shut down the concert at 10 pm by turning all the lights on and flushing us out rather unceremoniously, right in the middle of a song.

No more horse race wagering, that was closed. Woody's opened in it's place and that I understand is closed down too.

"Las Positas" = "Little Holes," probably from all the gophers that used to live in the field where the golf course next to Earl Warren is now. In 1946-1947 while I was in first/second grades we lived across the street and I'd fly kits in that field. Stumbling into the gopher holes was something I had to try to avoid!

Our neighborhood (Puesta del Sol and north-heading streets between Mission Canyon and Paseo del Descanso) is not technically an enclave, but here the County projects into the City. Every time we have to contact a governmental agency we have to argue with a bureaucrat who insists that we are in the city and we have to insist that we live in the county. The difference is whether the city police or the county sheriff responds to problems.

This is a cool project. It's fun to see you discover places I knew about only because I lived near them or a driving route took me through them, and great to be introduced to others that I have never seen before and will have to make time to cycle past. Good local stuff.

I used to live on La Entrada. The plus was, our property was 1 acre and we kept horses and chickens. The minus was, we weren't on the City sewer system and had a septic tank instead.
