Santa Paula, California sits 17 miles east of Ventura and 66 miles northwest of Los Angeles along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. The Chumash Indians established this place as the village of Mupu and Srswa. In 1840, the land was given away as part of the Spanish land grant to Rancho Santa Paula and Saticoy. It was subdivided into small farms in the 1860s. Santa Paula got some exciting news when the town struck oil in 1880, which led to the formation of the Union Oil Company in 1890. It was incorporated on April 22, 1902, and by the early 1900s, Santa Paula was known as the pre-Hollywood film capital.
