Download or read book Filipinos in Ventura County written by Elnora Kelly Tayag and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipino immigrants came to Ventura County in the 1920s, beginning American lives mostly as farm laborers in work camps, notably the Arneill Ranch and Springville Ranch in Camarillo. They organized early societies like the Filipino Brotherhood Association of Ventura County, the Jordan Lodge 604 Legionarios del Trabajo, the Caballeros de Dimas Alang, the Filipino Optimist Club, and the Filipino Community of Ventura County. During World War II, Filipinos served in the 1st and 2nd Filipino Infantry Regiments of the U.S. Army. The omnipresence of the U.S. Navy in coastal Ventura prodded many second- and third-generation Filipinos to serve their country in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the Persian Gulf. Today the same spirit of community engagement is illustrated in the 26 local Filipino organizations all under the umbrella of the Filipino American Council, which celebrates history, community, and culture.

Download or read book Ventura County California History 1782-1917 written by Edwin M. Sheridan and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on several books published between 1890 and 1917; but mostly from the book, History Of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties California. Sheridan, who wrote the Ventura section, was a Ventura County Pioneer and a partner with the "Signal Newspaper", Ventura's first newspaper. Ventura was a part of the Santa Barbara County. On April 13, 1875, final settlement was effected with Santa Barbara County under the terms of the Act of March 22, 1872.The time of the founding of the mission may be traced the beginning of Ventura County. This was on March 31, 1782. San Buenaventura, the County seat, in the beginning had more than one name. Indeed, there were no less than three names given the locality before the advent of Father Junipero Serra, the Franciscan founder of the Mission church. To begin with the Indians of the neighborhood called the place Zucu. What the meaning of this word is has never been learned. The Indian tribes in California were small and there was a wide diversity in the languages of the several tribes, and tracing the meaning of Indian words has always puzzled those who delve into such things. The expedition under Don Rodriguez called the place Pueblo de las Canoes. And later, the overland expedition of Gaspar Portola, traveling from San Diego to locate Monterey, named the place Asuncion de Nuestra Senora. The latter found the native Indians busy at boat-making and reported that many of them took to the sea and traveled the channel waters between the mainland and the islands. It was Father Serra who gave the name San Buenaventura to the location. This was in honor of the Seraphic Doctor and friend of Saint Francis, the founder of the Order of Friars Minor.—The beginnings of an American settlement in a new country are always interesting to succeeding generations and we owe it to them that the annals and the traditions of the Pioneers should be recorded. —T.R. Bard, August 31, 1907

Download or read book Ventura County written by Carina Monica Montoya and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ventura County has its roots in the founding of Mission San Buenaventura during the Spanish era (1769-1821). During the Mexican era (1822-1846), expansive mission lands were divided and granted out as ranchos for individual landownership to those with political influence and to former soldiers for loyal service during the war. When California became a state in 1850, settlers, prospectors, and developers began to purchase rancho lands. Ventura County became one of the most productive agricultural and oil-rich lands in the state and country. Farmland dominated much of the county's landscape in the early years--oranges were its most popular fruit, and sugar beets were its prized commodity. Although the county still has an agricultural landscape in many of its cities and towns, the county is a patchwork of farms, islands, high-tech businesses, and military defense installations. It is as diverse as its people.
