Popeye was born in Santa Monica , California according to sources .

Victoria Texas is referred to as Popeye's 'hometown' since the Victoria Advocate is credited as being the first newspaper to run the cartoon strip 'Thimble Theatre'. While Popeye himself did not appear in the original strip, he was later introduced as a new character and ultimately stole the show. Per the Texas State Historical Association website, Elzie Crisler Segar (creator of the strip) sent a special cartoon to the Victoria Advocate for an anniversary edition in 1934 in which Popeye offers congratulations to the paper since it was where "he was born'd at".
