History & geography

History

When the Spanish arrived in the 1770s, the Chumash Indians populated the area. Thousands of years before that, an even more ancient people called the Milling Stone Horizon Native American tribe (of Millingstone Horizon era) were the area's inhabitants. The Ventura and Ojai Valley Railroad ran through Mira Monte since it was completed in 1898, until 1969, when the tracks were washed out in a major storm. The Maricopa Highway (Highway SR-33) was built in 1933 by the state to connect Carpinteria with California's Central Valley. This made Mira Monte into a transit hub.

Geography

The Ventura River forms the western boundary of the community with the base of Sulfur mountain running along the east boundary. State Route 33 and SR 150 bisect the community.
