Ventura County
Location and origin
Ojai (pronounced "oohigh"), founded in 1874, lies in the valley of the same name where cattle are reared and citrus fruits cultivated. Originally named after the Californian writer Charles Nordhoff, it received in 1916 the name of the valley which had been taken from the language of the Chumash Indians (meaning "moon"). The town impresses the visitor because of its remoteness (take the U.S. 101 and turn off onto the CA 150 south of Carpentaria), and the harmony of the architecture, unusual in Californian townships of this size.
