Ventura, California is a city with approximately 104,140 people and it is actually called San Buenaventura but the name is most often shortened to Ventura. The city is the county seat of Ventura County.

The origins of the city were with Junipero Serro who founded Mission San Buenaventura in this area in 1782. Settlers came to the area and bought or simply squatted on land owned by the Mexicans after the American Civil War. Ventura was incorporated in 1866 and for most of the next hundred years that followed, the area remained rural becuase it was not easily accessible. A lot of land in these early days was bought by railroad magnate, Thomas Scott. His employee, Thomas R. Bard, is often regarded as the Father of Ventura and his descendants have helped the city to grow throughout its history. In 1890, the Union Oil Company was organized by Bard who was the president. In 1914, the main oil field of Ventura was drilled and peaked at 90,000 barrels per day. On top of the rich oil deposits in the area, the soil was also very fertile. In fact, citrus crops grew better here than anywhere else in California. It was here in Ventura where the largest organization of citrus producers formed and they called themselves Sunkist Growers, Incorporated.

From 1920 to today, the city of Ventura has grown steadily in the following way: 1920 - 4,156 people, 1920 - 11,603 people, 1950 - 4,156 people, 2007 - 104,140.
