Santa Monica is a coastal city in western Los Angeles County, California, USA.
Situated on Santa Monica Bay of the Pacific Ocean, it is surrounded by the City of Los Angeles
Pacific Palisades and Brentwood on the north, West Los Angeles and Mar Vista on the east,
and Venice on the south.
The Census Bureau 2006 population estimate for Santa Monica is 88,050, while a 2007 estimate
from the California State Department of Finance places the population at 91,124.
Santa Monica is named for Saint Monica of Hippo because the area on which the city is
now located was first visited by Spaniards on her feast day. In the skateboard and surfing
communities, Santa Monica's Ocean Park neighborhood and adjacent parts of Venice are
sometimes called Dogtown.
Santa Monica is sometimes referred to with the colloquial abbreviation "SaMo," a precursor
to similar terms such as NoHo and WeHo.
Because of its agreeable weather, Santa Monica had become a famed resort town by
the early 20th century. The city has experienced a boom since the late 1980s through
the revitalization of its downtown core with significant job growth and increased tourism.
