In 805, Connecting People, Places, and Businesses Across the 805 Region of California Since 2007
Founded in 2007, In 805 (in805.com), a California company, was created with a simple mission: to help people discover, explore, and connect with the communities that make up California’s Central Coast.
From Ventura County to Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County, the 805 region is home to unique cities, locally owned businesses, community events, outdoor destinations, and experiences that deserve to be discovered. In 805 was built to bring these resources together in one trusted digital destination.

Today, In 805 helps people find the information they need — from local businesses and events to community guides, attractions, news, and things to do throughout Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo Counties.
