History

There are a few stories about how Agoura Hills got its name—some say it honors a French settler, while others believe it was chosen to reflect the area's pastoral charm. Originally a stagecoach stop, the town grew from ranchland into a haven for equestrians and artists. In the 1960s and ’70s, it became a hub for musicians and counterculture, with legends like the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt performing locally. Over time, suburban development brought upscale homes and family-friendly neighborhoods. Today, Agoura Hills still blends rustic roots with modern elegance.
