The creek in the Arroyo Grande village is lush and green year-round.
Brief History
Arroyo Grande has long since been one of California’s most productive agricultural regions. Gaining its footing in the early 1900’s as a producer of crops such as cabbages, carrots, beans, peas, pumpkins and onions, Arroyo Grande’s (or “AG” as the locals call it) economy is still largely reliant on its vegetables. However, award-winning local wineries are beginning to attract attention of their own from around the world.
Areas of Interest
- The Village is home to the famous “swinging bridge”, the last one of its kind in California. With an abundance of restaurants and novelty shops, as well plenty of community events, this is a must-see stop for visitors of Arroyo Grande.
