The Chumash lived in the area before Europeans arrived. Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo claimed it for Spain in 1542, and Mission San Buenaventura, founded in 1782, grazed cattle there. Californio ranchers lost their influence after California became a state in 1850, and American farmers moved in to grow barley and lima beans.

More about Oxnard

Henry T. Oxnard, who ran a successful sugar beet factory at Chino with his brothers Benjamin, James and Robert, was persuaded to build a $2 million factory on the plain inland from Port Hueneme. A town grew up after the 1897 beet campaign. Oxnard wanted to name it after the Greek word for sugar, but, frustrated by red tape, he gave it his own name. A railroad station built in the spring of 1898 brought Chinese, Japanese and Mexican laborers. The brothers, who never lived in the town, sold the factories in 1899 for nearly $4 million. The red-brick Oxnard factory, with its twin smokestacks, ran from August 19, 1899, to October 26, 1959, and its work was interrupted by the Oxnard strike of 1903. Oxnard was incorporated on June 30, 1903, and its public library opened in 1907. The Henry T. Oxnard Historic District, a neighborhood begun in 1909, is on the National Register. Before and during World War II the Navy built bases at Point Mugu and Port Hueneme, the only major navigable port on the coast between Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay, and they drew aerospace and communications industries. Mid-century growth added suburbs and the Channel Islands Harbor. Sources Wikipedia: Oxnard, California
