History

On-going excavations, archaeological sites, and polychrome rock paintings in the area provide a glimpse into the social and economic complexity of the ancient Chumash world. According to Patricia Allen, historian and family descendant, Andrew Russell beat the competition in buying the land by racing across 6,000 acres (24 km²) on a fifteen-minute trip in a buckboard and sealed the deal with a $20 gold piece. The city encompasses half of the area surrounding Westlake Lake, and small neighborhoods primarily south of US Route 101 (California) Route 101 and east of La Venta Drive. In 1881, the Russell brothers purchased a large portion of the land for cattle ranching. When California was admitted to the union in 1850, most of the land that later became Ventura County was divided among only 19 families.
