Santa Barbara County
Location and origin
If you take the U.S. 101 coast road south, and turn off at Buellton on to the CA 164, after a few miles you will reach Solvang, the biggest Danish settlement in the United States of America. It was given its name by the Danish-American Corporation in Chicago, who thought the Danish word "solvang" (sunny meadow) was a fitting description of the little town founded in 1911. Several professors involved in founding the town also set up a college, but this no longer exists.
Danish ambience
Tourism flourishes in this little town with the Danish character on the edge of the Santa Ynez mountains.
