Camarillo is a coastal city that is located in Ventura County. The land upon which the city now sits was inhabited by the Chumash Native American peoples prior to European settlement, and elaborate rock art in local caves and caverns is evidence of their presence in Camarillo. The city was named after Hispanic rancho owners Adolfo and Don Juan Camarillo. The brothers received a land grant for the area before the Mexican-American War, which was the conflict that led to California becoming part of the United States. They used the land to raise crops and horses. Agriculture was the chief industry for nearly everyone in Camarillo well into the 1960s, and farmers produced walnuts, citrus fruit and lima beans.
Camarillo experienced the most growth after the completion of the Ventura Freeway or U.S. Route 101 during the 1950s. The highway made commuting to Los Angeles easy, and companies started moving to Camarillo because of its new transportation system and relatively low land prices. Today’s Camarillo residents who do not commute to Los Angeles County for work find employment locally at California State University Channel Islands, one of the local military installations or one of the city’s large retailers such as Harbor Freight Tools. Technology companies such as Technicolor Video Services, Semtech, Data Exchange and Teledyne Scientific and Imaging are also prominent employers in Camarillo.
