Foxen Canyon Road is a twenty-nine-mile rural highway located in Santa Barbara County.  The corridor begins at the eastern outskirts of Santa Maria and terminates near Ballard Canyon Road in Los Olivos.  Foxen Canyon Road is named after William Benajmin Foxen who took ownership of Rancho Tinaquaic in 1842.   Foxen Ranch would serve as a major stage station beginning in 1861. 

Foxen Canyon Road during much of the California Gold Rush was part of the main highway between Santa Maria Valley and San Marcos Pass.  The highway from Santa Maria to Sisquoc would serve as part of Legislative Route Number 148 beginning in 1933 and would be reassigned as California State Route 176 in 1964.  California State Route 176 would be deleted in 1984 which rendered Foxen Canyon Road as being fully maintained by Santa Barbara County.
