Санта-Крус
Metro Santa Cruz began publishing in 1994 and continued under that name until it became Santa Cruz Weekly in 2009. The founding editors' stated objective was to continue a local tradition of independent journalism that had included such publications as "Free Spaghetti Dinner", "Sundaze", "Santa Cruz Independent", an unrelated publication in the 1980s called "Santa Cruz Weekly", "Santa Cruz Express" and "Santa Cruz Sun".
