Laguna Beach, Orange County, California, United States

Laguna Beach was incorporated as a General Law City in 1927 and has experienced a slow but steady population growth since that time. Laguna Beach was the point of origin and base of operations for the Brotherhood of Eternal Love (The Laguna Brotherhood) in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Timothy Leary lived with and acted as a spiritual guide to the Brotherhood, until his arrest for possession of marijuana. Leary was 'busted' by Laguna Beach police officer Neil Purcell on December 26, 1968 on Woodland Drive, just south of the intersection with the Roosevelt Drive footpath.
