About Ventura

Established in 1873, Ventura is sized at 1.2 million acres and is one of the state of California’s 58 counties. The city’s formal name is San Buenaventura, which translates to “good fortune”, although most people shorten it to Ventura. The city’s name was given through the 1782 San Buenaventura Mission which can still be found in Ventura’s downtown district. This town is now inhabited by nearly 900,000 people, making it the State’s 11th most populated. Ventura County is a successful location for several industries including education, healthcare, military development, agriculture, biotechnology and tourism.

This town is a beautiful place to visit, with 42 miles of coastline and almost half of the total landmass belonging to the Los Padres National Forest. Ventura County is one of the leading agricultural producers and was the first place in the world where lima beans were grown, which was the origin for gluten-free food.

This variety in natural terrain makes Ventura a great place to hold all sorts of events.

Disadvantages

• Expensive
  Ventura is a growing city with expanding industries and a thriving economy. Unfortunately, as the economy rises so do the prices.

• Homelessness
  The city has a moderate climate, numerous parks open to the public and a population that is typically upper to middle class.

• Public transportation is lacking
  The city of Ventura experiences traffic as much as any other in Carolina. Although they do offer public transportation in terms of trolleys, busses and metros, most locals say that they would rather bike or walk to where they need to go. Keep this in mind if you are planning on moving around the city a lot.
