People have lived in the Ventura area for at least 10,000 to 12,000 years, and the Chumash have deep roots along the central and southern California coast. Shisholop Village, a Chumash village site, is the city's Historic Point of Interest No. 18. The mainland Chumash of Ventura traded with the Channel Islands Chumash using large plank-sewn seagoing canoes called tomol, the islanders bringing shell-bead money, chert and sea otter pelts in exchange for acorns and deer meat.
The Portola expedition, the first recorded Europeans in inland California, came down the Santa Clara River valley from near present Saticoy and camped near the mouth of the Ventura River on August 14, 1769. The Franciscan Juan Crespi wrote that they saw "a regular town, the most populous and best laid-out of all that we had seen on the journey up to the present time." Archaeologists date that Chumash village to about AD 1000. Junipero Serra founded Mission San Buenaventura near the village in 1782, the ninth and last mission he established, as part of Spain's colonization of Alta California. It was named for St. Bonaventure, a 13th-century Franciscan saint and Doctor of the Church, and the town that grew up around it took the mission's name, later shortened to Ventura.
