Port Hueneme, Commercial port city in Ventura County, California, United States.
Port Hueneme extends along the California coast, featuring a deep water port facility that handles various types of cargo and maritime operations.
The region originated as a Chumash settlement named Wene'mu, transforming into a commercial harbor in 1941 to support local agricultural shipping needs.
The name Port Hueneme reflects the Chumash language, where Wene'mu indicates a resting place between the settlements of present-day Malibu and Ventura.
The Port of Hueneme generates operating funds without local taxes, contributing 24,997 jobs and managing $15 billion in annual trade throughout the region.
The Oxnard Harbor District maintains complete authority over port operations, focusing on specialized cargo such as automobiles and fresh produce.
