Nipomo

Nipomo is a census-designated place (CDP) in San Luis Obispo County, California, United States. This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6 °F. The Nipomo High School has become known for high scholastic standards, outstanding drama and musical productions, strong girl’s volleyball and boy’s wrestling teams, golf and swim teams, and its agriculture department. The enthusiastic boosters organization promotes both academics and athletics simultaneously.

Thousands of Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees were planted on the Nipomo Mesa in 1908 by two men who formed the Los Berros Forest Company with the idea of selling the trees as hardwood. Groves of these non-native trees still exist, even in rows as they were originally planted.
