LOMA PRIETA

:''For the 1989 earthquake that affected the San Francisco Bay and Monterey Bay regions, see Loma Prieta earthquake.''
'Loma Prieta' is a Northern California mountain with elevation 3,786 feet (1,154 m) and located at approximately 37.114° N, 121.846 W in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The peak is located on private property, about 11 miles (17.7 km) west of Morgan Hill and within the boundaries of Santa Clara County.
A rural area south and east of the summit is sometimes referred to as Casa Loma, named for an unpaved road through the area. The name is unofficial but its use is supported by the existence of a Casa Loma Volunteer Fire Department in the area. Loma Chiquita Road also serves this general area near the Santa Cruz County line.
The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake takes its name from the mountain since the epicenter was located near the geographical coordinates of the mountain.
