The Community - Oxnard, CA
Located on the beautiful Southern California coast, the City of
Oxnard is the largest and most populous city in the County of
Ventura. Nestled about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles and 35
miles south of Santa Barbara, Oxnard prides itself on its rich
diversity and culture. Oxnard boasts some of the richest
agricultural land in California. As well, Oxnard is also a thriving
center of commerce, tourism and industry. Resort facilities and a
recreational harbor attract and sustain a healthy tourist industry.
Access to various points in the City has been recently enhanced by
three newly completed interchanges from Highway 101. In the years
since incorporation in 1903 Oxnard has gone from cattle grazing, to
sugar beets and lima beans, to orchards, to more intensive farming
with several crops grown in a single year, to servicing the defense
industry, and finally transformed itself into a City with a
balanced and diverse industrial, housing, and commercial mix. Local
assets include two thriving military bases, a full service
deepwater port, master planned industrial parks, prime commercial
and retail sites, a regional medical center and hospital, a
flourishing community college and all the amenities of an ideal
