The Cuyama River (Chumash: Kuyam, meaning "Clam")[4] is a 118-mile-long (190 km)[5] river in southern San Luis Obispo County, northern Santa Barbara County, and northern Ventura County, in the U.S. state of California. It joins the Sisquoc River forming the Santa Maria River. The river's name comes from an Indian village named for the Chumash word kuyam, meaning "clam" or "freshwater mollusk".[6]
