The Nissan name was first introduced back in the 1930s, but the company itself has been producing cars since 1914. Nissan started over in Japan, but it quickly expanded to other countries as the demand for cars grew. Thanks to a tradition of hard work and dedication, Nissan has become one of the largest manufacturers in the world, and at Coast Nissan, we are proud to offer new and used cars to San Luis Obispo. The history of San Luis Obispo is also rich with culture, and there are several spots around town to experience it for yourself.
Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa
The best place to begin any history journey is at the beginning, and San Luis Obispo was founded in 1772 by the Spanish. They loved the rich-soil and the beautiful coast, with a perfect climate for growing food. A settlement was built and at its heart the #MissionSanLuisObispodeTolosa was constructed, serving as both a church and meeting place. Today, this iconic mission is a historic landmark that hosts several festivals and fairs throughout the year. Visitors can explore the historic architecture and learn more about the building that acted as the root of SLO’s history.
History Center of San Luis Obispo
Since its founding, SLO grew as a major supplier of crops and acted as a major shipping port for products on the West Coast. The SLO County Historical Society, originally founded in 1953, is dedicated to preserving collections and important cultural pieces from the city’s timeline. At the History Center of San Luis Obispo, you can enjoy displays of these pieces and embark on an educational journey of the entire region. From a gallery filled with impressive artwork to a research room stocked with information, come take an adventure into the history of the place we call home.
