Simi Valley's name comes from the Chumash word Shimiyi, which refers to the thin, stringy clouds typical of the area, perhaps strands of coastal fog drifting up from the Oxnard Plain. The anthropologist John P. Harrington preserved the meaning, and his brother Robert, who lived in the valley, wrote that the word meant "the little white wind clouds." During the mission period there were three Chumash settlements in the valley, Shimiyi, Ta'apu in present Tapo Canyon and Kimishax in Happy Camp Canyon, and many Chumash pictographs survive in the area, including the Burro Flats Painted Cave in the Simi Hills.
The Portola expedition crossed the valley on January 13 and 14, 1770, traveling from the Conejo Valley to the San Fernando Valley, and camped near a Native village. In 1795 Santiago Pico received Rancho Simi, 113,009 acres in eastern Ventura and western Los Angeles counties, the earliest Spanish land grant in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties and the largest in Ventura County. After his death in 1815 it was regranted to his sons Javier, Patricio and Miguel Pico, and the Simi Adobe-Strathearn House served as its headquarters. In 1842 Jose de la Guerra y Noriega, a captain of the Santa Barbara Presidio, bought Rancho Simi from the Picos to raise cattle. After his death in 1858 his sons ran the ranchos until several years of drought in the 1860s brought heavy losses, and in 1865 the de la Guerras lost Rancho Simi except for Rancho Tapo, which had come to be seen as a separate place within it.
