Situated between mountainous terrain and the Pacific
Ocean, Camarillo has steadily evolved from a small
agricultural town to a desirable ocean-side community,
complete with an historic downtown. First developed in
1910, the city has been undergoing repair and improvements
since the late 1990s. What has emerged is a functional blend
of convenient, updated shopping centers, along with the
preservation of the city’s cultural history. The city’s successful revitalization is evidenced by Old Town, a mile-long strip of businesses along Ventura Boulevard, which features casual cafés, upscale restaurants and antique shops. Old Town is where residents gather for annual events, and to shop at a Saturday morning farmer’s market filled with fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables and flowers. Beautiful, contemporary neighborhoods have been carefully designed to integrate with strawberry fields and citrus orchards, allowing residents to benefit from a progressive infrastructure without sacrificing open space. Camarillo also attracts acclaim from golfers, who enjoy several wellregarded private and public courses. Copyright © 2008 Discover Ventura County | Contact | Advertise |
