Discover Thousand Oaks

The Chumash were the first people in the area, settling there more than 10,000 years ago. Their two major villages were Sap'wi, "house of the deer," now near the Chumash Interpretive Center with its 2,000-year-old pictographs, and Satwiwa, "the bluffs," at the foot of Mount Boney in Newbury Park, a mountain sacred to the Chumash. Smaller villages included Yitimasih, where Wildwood Elementary School stands, Sihaw at today's Lang Ranch, with a cave of swordfish pictographs, two villages near Ventu Park Road of 100 to 200 people each, and Lalimanux and Kayiwish near the Conejo Grade. Summer camps stood where the Civic Arts Plaza and Los Robles Hospital are now. Each village was led by one or more chiefs, and a council of elders directed village life.

More about Thousand Oaks

One early name for the area, used by Egbert Starr Newbury, founder of Newbury Park, in the 1870s, was Conejo Mountain Valley. In the 1920s, when the community had about 100 residents, it held a naming contest won by 14-year-old Bobby Harrington's suggestion, Thousand Oaks, for the valley's tens of thousands of oaks. When the city incorporated in 1964, the Janss Corporation proposed the name Conejo City, but residents petitioned to put Thousand Oaks on the ballot, and on September 29, 1964, 87 percent of voters chose it.
