Perched on the
western edge of Los Angeles County in the foothills of the
Santa Monica Mountains, Agoura Hills is located just
forty-five minutes from busy downtown Los Angeles, but is
nevertheless rich with undulating hills and inspiring
canyons. For many centuries the area that would become
Agoura Hills was familiar territory for Native Americans who
wandered inland from their haunts along the sea in search of
game and other food. The permanent arrival of the Spanish in
the late 1700s banished the Indians from their homes and
introduced a ranching culture that would linger into the
early twentieth century. In the 1900s, vast cattle and
sheep ranches conceded ground to rows of lettuce and celery,
orchards, and wheat fields. Ranching and agriculture
eventually diminished in importance. Ranchers began dividing
up their property and selling individual tracts for housing.
From the outset, ranchers and farmers had worried about
water supplies and these concerns were shared by the
citizens of Agoura Hills into the mid 1950s. Then, provision
of outside sources of water helped ensure the growth of the
community, aided by the new highways which acted as a
conduit for fresh faces and commercial development and
contributed to the maturation of Agoura Hills
