Ventura County lies north of Los Angeles County, South of both Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties on the Coast of California. It is rich in history:
"In 1769, Spanish missionaries brought the first citrus to California when they established the twenty-one California missions. Farming in Ventura County started when Father Serra founded the San Buenaventura Mission in 1783. He planted citrus along with other fruit trees and vegetables."
An excerpt from Yda Addis Storke's History of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo & Ventura Counties may be found here.
