About this listen

 Camarillo was incorporated as a city in 1964, but long before that, it was known as Rancho Calleguas, a 10,000-acre desert Adolfo Camarillo transformed into an agricultural mecca. But the rancho also played a crucial role connecting railroad and freeway transportation between Northern and Southern California, forever establishing direct transportation with the commercial world. You’ll learn about these chain of events plus the Conejo Grade, the demise of the Camarillo Depot, waltzing raccoons, and Josh McDonald’s questionable years in High School.
