From its world class art museum to its state-of-the-art zoological garden, Santa Barbara is a community committed to a rich and culturally diverse quality of life. Since its inception, The Santa Barbara Independent has been here to celebrate and support that commitment. Although we have had a website since 1998, it wasn't until April 2007 that we began our news, arts and entertaiment portal, www.independent.com. Providing a thorough and up to date site for all things Santa Barbara, independent.com immediately became the area's most visited community website. Santa Barbara finally has a daily news site and a place for the community to connect.
