Histori
Periode pra-kolonial
Ventura County is historically inhabited by Chumash people, who also settled in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo County, with their presence since 10,000-12,000 years. The Chumash is hunter-gatherer, fisherman, and also trader with Indian Mojave, Yokuts, and Tongva. The Chumash is also known for their stone paintings and for their large baskets. The Chumash Indian Museum in Thousand Oaks has some reconstructed Chumash homes ('what) and there are several Chumash pictographs in this area, including Burro Flats Painted Cave in Simi Valley. Canoe boards, called tomol in Chumash, are important for their lifestyle. Kano launches points on the mainland for trade with Chumash of the Channel Islands located at the mouth of the Ventura River, Mugu Lagoon and Point Hueneme. This has led to speculation among archaeologists about whether Chumash could have any prehistoric contact with Polynesia. According to diachronic linguistics, certain words such as tomolo'o (canoe) can be attributed to Polynesian languages. The Chumash dialect spoken in Ventura County is VentureÃÆ'Â ± o.
Some of the place names in this area are from Chumash, including Ojai, meaning moon, and Simi Valley, which comes from the word Shimiyi and refers to the thread, like the cloud thread that symbolizes the region. Others include Point Mugu from the word Muwu (meaning "beach"), Saticoy from Sa'aqtiko'y word (meaning "sheltered for the wind"), and Sespe Creek from S'eqp'e word (meaning "kneecap").
Spanish period
In October 1542, an expedition led by Juan RodrÃÆ'guez Cabrillo anchored in an inlet near Point Mugu; its members were the first Europeans to arrive in the area that would become Ventura County.
The active occupation of California by Spain began in 1769. Gaspar de PortolÃÆ' led a military expedition by land from San Diego to Monterey, passing through Ventura County in August of that year. A priest with an expedition, Father Juan CrespÃÆ', made a travel journal and noted that the area is ideal for a mission to be established and that is "a good site that has nothing lacking". Also in this expedition was Father JunÃÆ'pero Serra, who later established a mission on this site.
On March 31, 1782, Mission San Buenaventura was founded by Father Serra. It was named Saint Bonaventure, one of the early Franciscan founding intellectuals. The city that grew up around the mission, originally and remains named San Buenaventura, although it has been known as Ventura since 1891.
In the 1790s, the Spanish Governor of California began granting land concessions to Californian citizens of Spain who often withdrew from the army. This concession is known as ranchos and consists of thousands of hectares of land used primarily as farmland for livestock. In Ventura County, Rancho Simi was awarded in 1795 and Rancho El Conejo in 1802. Fernando Tico was awarded Ojai and part of Ventura by Governor Alvarado.
Mexican Period
In 1822, California was informed of Mexican independence from Spain and the Governor of California, Junta, the military in Monterey and the priests and neophytes of Mission San Buenaventura vowed to Mexico on April 11, 1822. The land of California that the king of Spain has now owned by the Mexicans.
In the 1830s, Mission San Buenaventura had decreased with fewer neophytes joining the mission. The number of livestock owned by missions drops from first to fifteenth in the California Mission. The missions were secularized by the Mexican government in 1834. The Mexican governors began granting land rights to Mexican Californians, who often withdrew from the army. In 1846, there were 19 rancho grants in Ventura County. In 1836, Mission San Buenaventura was transferred from the Church to the secular administrator. The native inhabitants who had worked in the mission gradually went to work at the ranchos. In 1839, only 300 Indians were left in the Mission and it was ignored.
Some latrines were discovered in July 2007 since the 1800s where a new site has been opened for development preparation. The area proved to be a treasure trove for archaeologists who crashed a mossy smell on the ground to uncover artifacts that showed massive use by mission peoples, Indians, early settlers, and Spanish and Mexican soldiers.
American Period
The Mexican-American War began in 1846 but the effect was not felt in Ventura County until 1847. In January of that year, Captain John C. FrÃÆ'Â © mont led the California Battalion to San Buenaventura found that Europeans had fled leaving only the Indians in Mission. Fremont and the Battalion went south to sign the Cahuenga Agreement with General André Pico. The Guadalupe Hidalgo Agreement formally moved California to the United States in 1848.
In 1849, a constitution was adopted for the territory of California. The new legislature meets and divides the pending state into 27 districts. At that time, the area that will become Ventura County is the southern part of Santa Barbara County.
The 1860s brought many changes to the area. Drought causes many ranchos to experience financial difficulties and are largely divided, divided, and sold. Much of the land is bought by eastern capitalists based on favorable reports of oil deposits. The United States Post Office opened in Mission San Buenaventura in 1861. On April 1, 1866, the city of San Buenaventura was incorporated into the first recognized official city in the territory to be Ventura County.
On January 1, 1873, Ventura County was officially separated from Santa Barbara County, bringing a flurry of changes. In the same year, courthouses and piers were built in San Buenaventura. A bank opened and the first public library was created. The school system grew, with the opening of a junior high school in 1890.
Other cities start in this area. A plan for Hueneme (later Port Hueneme) was recorded in 1874, and Santa Paula's plan was recorded in 1875. The Nordhoff community (later renamed Ojai) began in 1874. Bardsdale, Fillmore, Piru and Montalvo were founded in 1887. 1892 see Simi (then Simi Valley), Somis, Saticoy and Moorpark. Oxnard is a newcomer, not established until 1898.
The Southern Pacific Railroad laid a trail through San Buenaventura in 1887. For convenience in printing their schedules, Southern Pacific shortened San Buenaventura to Ventura. Post Office immediately followed. While the city remains officially known as San Buenaventura, it is more commonly referred to as Ventura. The railroad to northern California initially passed Saugus, Fillmore, and Santa Paula, providing an explosion for the communities along the line. In 1905, Tunnel # 26 was completed between Chatsworth and Corriganville near Simi Valley, shortening the train route. At a length of 7,369 feet (2,246 m), Tunnel # 26 is the longest tunnel ever built in its day. The tunnel joins the railroad tracks that come in the other direction from Montalvo through Camarillo, Moorpark and Simi Valley, making contemporary main lines used today. One stop along the road, at 90 degrees, is at a sugar beet processing factory. The factory was wearing the absentee owner's name, Oxnard Brothers. A small community of agricultural workers and factories grew up near a train stop. The community, now by the name of the factory, which is abbreviated to one wagon, said the Oxnard stop, has become the largest city in Ventura County.
Oil has been known in Ventura County since before the arrival of Europeans, as the native Chumash used tar from a natural perk as a sealant and waterproofing for baskets and canoes. In the 1860s, several attempts were made to harvest petroleum products under Ventura County but none were financially successful, and oil speculators eventually changed from oil to land development. In 1913, oil exploration began in earnest, with Ralph Lloyd getting financial support from veteran oil man Joseph B. Dabney. Their first well, named "Lloyd No. 1", began on January 20, 1914. Well-struck well at 2558 feet (780 m) but destroyed when it became wild. Other wells met the same fate, until 1916, when an agreement was reached with the Shell Oil Company. 1916 was the year in which the great South Mountain Oil Field was discovered, and another deal was followed by General Petroleum in 1917 and Associated Oil Company in 1920. At its peak, the county's largest oilfield, the Ventura Avenue oil field, was discovered in 1919 in the hills in northern Ventura, produces 90,000 barrels (14,000 m 3 ) of oil per day, with an annual output of over one million and a half barrels. More and more on-line oil fields in the 1920s and 1930s, with the Rincon field, the second largest, in 1927, and adjacent San Miguelito in 1931.
In the early hours of March 12-13, 1928, St. Francis Dam collapsed, sending nearly 12,500 million US gallons (47 gigitres) of water flowing through Santa Clarita Valley killing as many as 600 people, destroying 1,240 homes and 7,900 hectares of flood (32 km 2 ) land, devastated farmland and fruit garden. This is the single largest disaster to attack Ventura County and the second largest, in the case of lost lives, in the state.
Period of time
Ventura County can be separated into two major parts, East County and West County. East Regency consists of all cities in the east of Conejo Grade. Geographically East County is the tip of the Santa Monica Mountains, where the Conejo Valley is located, and where there is considerable elevation elevation. Communities considered to be in East County are Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Sherwood Lake, Hidden Valley, Santa Rosa Valley, Oak Park, Moorpark, and Simi Valley. The majority of these communities are in the Conejo Valley.
West County, which is the western part of Conejo Grade, consists of communities such as Camarillo, Oxnard, Somis, Point Mugu, Port Hueneme, Ventura, Ojai, Santa Paula, and Fillmore. West County is made up of the first few towns developed in this county. The largest coastal community is located in the West District on the Channel Islands Harbor line.
Beginning in the mid-1900s, there was a large population growth in East County, moving from San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles and out to Conejo and Simi Valleys. Part of Los Angeles County's Conejo Valley. This section consists of Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Agoura Hills, Agoura, and Westlake Village. The other half of the Valley of Conejo, which is part of Ventura County, consists of Sherwood Lake, Hidden Valley, Oak Park, Thousand Oaks, and Newbury Park, formerly an unincorporated area that is now the westernmost part of Thousand Oaks. Many working class workers migrated to this area during the 1960s and 1970s from East and Central Los Angeles. As a result, there was a large population growth to the Conejo Valley and into Ventura County via the 101 US Route corridor. Making the US highway in the 1960s, and the extension followed, helped ease travel to Los Angeles and paved the way for westward development. Communities that have seen the most substantial developments are Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, and Newbury Park.
Development moved further down the 101 US corridor and sent an increasing population in the West County cities as well. The largest population growth is in Camarillo, Oxnard, and Ventura. Development in East County and along US 101 corridors is rare today, as most of these cities are cities planned by their mothers, such as Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley, and are approaching development. Although the area still has plenty of open space and land, almost everything is mandated to never be developed as part of each city's master plan. Because of this, its low key location, the feel of the country, and its proximity to Los Angeles, the Conejo Valley region has become a very interesting place to live in. Like most areas of Ventura County, once had relatively cheap real estate, but prices have risen sharply. For example, real estate in Newbury Park has risen in price by more than 250% in the last 10 years. The average house price in the Conejo Valley now ranges from $ 700,000 to $ 2.2 million. Camarillo also experienced rapid growth in the 1960s and 1970s following a favorable article published in National Geographic Magazine citing the excellent climate. The National Geographic magazine compares the Mediterranean climate with the French Riviera. After this, many developers and residents come to Camarillo for favorable weather.

Geography
According to the US Census Bureau, the county has a total area of ​​2,208 square miles (5,720 km 2 ), of which 1,843 square miles (4,770 km 2 ) are land and 365 square miles ( 950 km 2 ) (16.5%) is water.
Parts of the county are on the Oxnard Plains covering the towns of Oxnard, Camarillo, Port Hueneme and most of Ventura. Other cities and communities are located in the intermountain valleys of the Transverse Range. Santa Clara River Valley is the most prominent valley, while other valleys include the Conejo Valley, Simi Valley, Santa Rosa Valley, Tierra Rejada Valley and Las Posas Valley. Other parts of the county are in small coastal mountains, such as the Santa Ynez Mountains, the Simi Hills, the Santa Monica Mountains and the Piru Mountains. Most of Ventura County residents live in the southern part of the county. The main population centers are the Oxnard Plains and Simi and Conejo Basin. In local media, the county is usually divided between the eastern part, generally associated with the San Fernando Valley, and the western part, often referred to as "Oxnard-Ventura." To the east is the Los Angeles area.
Because the total amount of rainfall is small, saving water and getting water from additional sources outside of Ventura County is a very important issue. Climate, although mostly light and dry, varies due to topographic variation through eg elevation differences and physical geography. The Santa Clara River is the main waterway. Lake Casitas, an artificial reservoir, is the largest water body.
The highest peaks in this area include Mount Pinos (8831 ', 2697 m), Mount Frazier (8017', 2444 m), and Reyes Peak (7525 ', 2294 m) in the Transverse Range. The highlands are well maintained with conifer type forest, and receive plenty of snow in the winter. Pinos Mountain is sacred to the Chumash Indians. Known as your Iwihin, and considered the center of the universe; being the highest peak around it, it has a great view in three directions.
The USDA Economic Research Service assesses Ventura County's most desirable area to live in 48 adjacent states, using six climate metrics ("cool, sunny winter, moderate summer, low humidity"), topographic variations, and access to water, "reflects the environmental quality that most people love."
Physical geography
There are 555,953 acres (224,986 ha) outside of national forest land in Ventura County, which means 53 percent of the total district area consists of national forests.

All areas of the wilderness are within the jurisdiction of the Los Padres National Forest.
The coastal plain is formed by sediment deposition from the Santa Clara River and from the flow of the Calleguas-Conejo drainage system. It has an average height of fifty feet (15 m), but at the southern points of the Santa Clara River, the elevation is 150 feet (46 m), and at the north end of the river, 300 feet (91 m).

South Mountain and Oak Ridge are low and long mountains that separate the Santa Clara Valley from the Las Posas Valley and Simi Valley. The hills of Camarillo and Las Posas Hills stretch from Camarillo to Simi Valley and separate the Las Posas-Simi area from the Santa Rosa Valley and Tierra Rejada Valley.
The Santa Clara River intermountain valley is the most prominent valley in this area and the east-southwest trends. Santa Clara River flows an area of ​​1,605 square miles and flows from upstream Los Angeles to where it landed into the Pacific. Its main tributaries are Piru Creek, Santa Paula Creek, and Sespe Creek. The Ventura Valley is a narrow valley north of Ventura. The Ojai Valley is connected to the Ventura River Valley by San Antonio Creek. Upper Ojai Valley, east of the Ojai Valley and 300 to 500 feet tall (91 to 152 m), flows to the Ventura River to the west and to Santa Paula Creek to the east. Ojai and Upper Ojai Valley are surrounded by mountains and rich agricultural areas. The Ventura River flows to the south and runs an area of ​​226 square miles. More from South Mountain and Oak Ridge, south of the Santa Clara River, is the Las Posas Valley and the Simi Valley. The Las Posas Valley extends eastward from the Oxnard Plain to the Simi Valley, which is at the east end of Ventura County. The city of Simi Valley is bordered east by the Santa Susana Mountains and to the south by Simi Hills. To the south, above Camarillo- and Las Posas Hills, is Santa Rosa- and Tierra Rejada Valleys, stretching from Camarillo to the east as far as ten miles.
