About San Luis Obispo County
The history of San Luis Obispo County can be traced back thousands of years to the Chumash people and their settlements near the coast. Yet, it wasn’t until 1772 when Father Junipero Serra founded Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, named after Saint Louis of Anjou, the bishop of Toulouse. After the Mexican-American War and the state’s annexation to the United States, San Luis Obispo became the first town incorporated in the newly formed San Luis Obispo County and remains the center of the county to today.
San Luis Obispo County sits along the Pacific coast with Monterey County to the north, Kern County to the east, and Santa Barbara County to the south and spans roughly 3,616 square miles.

Service jobs account for nearly 40% of the county’s jobs, followed by government jobs at 21% and manufacturing jobs at 6%.
