A city founded in 1868 (in what was then Monterey County). Hollister claims the title of "Earthquake Capital of the World" and shares that title with Coalinga and Parkfield.
Hollister presents a prime example of aseismic creep anywhere in the world. The Calaveras Fault (a branch of the San Andreas Fault system) bisects the city N-S (roughly along Locust Avenue and Powell Street). The streets running E-W traversing the fault have significant visible offsets.
