Ventura County, City of Fillmore
Fillmore is a
beautiful small valley town in Northern Ventura County just below the San
Cayetano mountain peak in the Los Padres National Forest. Fillmore is located
within an historic Ventura County agricultural and tree-farming belt. Fillmore
has classic "turn of the century" downtown architecture, a one-screen
theatre, a thriving historic train depot, a much photographed city hall, and
many unique shops and businesses, including a local winery operation. It is
home to Elkins Ranch Golf Course. The small farming community of Bardsdale is
located about three miles from Fillmore, directly across the Santa Clara River.
Also located nearby are a fish hatchery and the Sespe Creek and Sespe
Wilderness, home to the giant California Condor sanctuary. Fillmore's economy
is still largely driven by agriculture. Most agricultural industry in the
Fillmore area is related to orange, lemon, avocado orchard farming and packing
and, more recently, specimen tree farming. To a lesser extent, row crop farming
and small industry and assembly are also present in and near Fillmore and in
other parts of the Santa Clara Valley. The single largest employer is the
Fillmore Unified School District. The city was incorporated in 1888, and is
governed by a five-person council with the position of mayor rotating among the
members on a yearly basis.
