Mission County proposal

Mission County was a proposed new county in the northern part of Santa Barbara County, California, USA initiated in 2002 by disaffected residents who felt their interests were not being heard. An advisory commission was formed to look into the formation of the proposed county. The commission published its final report in March 2005.^[1] Having completed its deliberations, the organization has been formally disbanded. Residents of Santa Barbara County strongly rejected the formation of the new county on June 6, 2006.^[2]
