History
Newbury Park traces its roots to the Chumash people, who lived in the area for thousands of years before Spanish settlers arrived. Later, ranching dominated the landscape, and the community was named after Egbert Starr Newbury, an early settler and postmaster. Development accelerated in the mid-20th century as part of the Thousand Oaks master plan, transforming ranchland into residential neighborhoods. Today, Newbury Park honors its heritage through preserved open spaces and historical landmarks.
