Understand
For the first hundred years after California became a state, Ventura County was primarily agrarian, and was known for its fertile farmland and orange groves. The rise of Los Angeles, its eastern neighbor, into become a major metropolis has resulted in the south third of the county becoming increasingly suburban. Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, and Moorpark, in the southeast, are commonly considered the western extent of the Los Angeles exurbs.
