- The Curt Teich Company of Chicago printed postcards between 1898 and 1978 in association with many publishers. It used the term "Photochrom," later "Colortone," to describe its color printing processes.
- Mission Santa Barbara was founded on December 4th, 1786, the tenth of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions founded in California between 1769 and 1823. Its purpose was to convert American Indians of the Chumash tribe to Catholicism.
- Today the mission serves as a parish church and includes a museum, a Franciscan friary, or monastery, and a retreat center.
