Here is a logo proposed by me in 1984 in my book entitled Goleta Pueblos de las Islas, A Pictorial History of the Goleta Valley, dedicated to the future City of Goleta. It appears in my later book entitled Looking Back (1991). Both books are in the local library.
A lot of local maritime history is in this one drawing.
- The Schooner is the central focus. “Goleta” means schooner or small ship in Spanish. Schooners stopped in the Goleta harbor or bay in the sailing days to drop off goods and take on hides. The schooner Santa Barbara was built in the bay and launched in June 1829.
