Santa Paula, Agricultural center in Ventura County, United States
Santa Paula extends across 4.6 square miles in the Santa Clara River Valley, surrounded by citrus groves and mountain ranges 65 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Nathan Weston Blanchard established the town's foundation in 1872 by purchasing land and initiating orange tree cultivation in the Santa Clara River Valley.
The California Oil Museum, housed in the former Union Oil Company headquarters from 1890, presents exhibits about petroleum industry development in the region.
The city maintains direct access to agricultural distribution networks, serving as a primary hub for citrus fruit and avocado processing in California.
During the early 1900s, Santa Paula functioned as a pre-Hollywood film center when Gaston Méliès established the American Star Film Company operations.
