Freedom, California

Freedom is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Cruz County, California, United States. The population was 3,835 at the 2020 census.

Originally known as Whiskey Hill, likely as a consequence of eleven saloons located there in 1852.

In 1877, the residents voted to change the name to Freedom, most likely because many of the saloons had closed and the United States Centennial fervor of the prior year's celebration.

Freedom is located at 36°56′26″N 121°47′22″W / 36.94056°N 121.78944°W / 36.94056; -121.78944 (36.940452, -121.789376).
