Mission San Buenaventura
More than 1,500 years ago, Ventura began as the Chumash Village Shisholop. It takes its modern name from Mission San Buenaventura, founded by Franciscan friars under the Spanish crown in 1782. After a brief period of Mexican rule, Ventura became a bustling frontier town following California statehood in 1850. The discovery of oil hastened the area's growth, and by 1925, the Ventura Avenue oil field was among the most productive in the nation. The Perry Mason novels by Erle Stanley Gardner, a young Ventura lawyer, gained worldwide popularity in the 1950s.
As you explore the downtown or tour the scenic back-country, you'll find much of the area's history still evident in its traditional buildings and landscape.
