Long before the Europeans arrived in the first Portola expedition in 1795, the Chumash tribe had been inhabiting Camarillo for thousands of years. The city was named for brothers Adolfo and Juan Camarillo Jr., who founded the city on their 9,998-acre Rancho Calleguas in the early 1900s. The city didn't begin to grow until the 1940s when various military branches built bases in the area. Even then, however, the area remained largely agricultural because of the lack of access to nearby Los Angeles. In the mid-1950s, the Ventura Freeway was completed, which suddenly made the trip an easy 60-minute drive. From there, the population rapidly expanded.
Modern-day Camarillo features plenty of activities and points of interest to engage just about any visitor to the area. Pay a visit to Old Town Camarillo, which is the heart of the town that was established in 1910. There are many restaurants, boutiques, and events held throughout the year. If you're a fan of fresh produce, stop by Camarillo's farmers market that takes place on Saturdays between 8:00 a.m. and noon in Old Town. Not only can you purchase produce and fruit, but the market also offers baked goods, eggs, cheeses, tamales, and sausage. Nature lovers will want to hike the 4.1-mile Bridlewood Trail. On this path, you will encounter a river, forest, wildflowers, and many scenic views.
