Last week we gave you a tidbit of information about our business home town, Long Beach, CA. Today we offer the following about the beautiful community of Agoura Hills, CA.
"In 1924 the town was called Independent Acres, but the name was later changed to Picture City after Paramount Picture Corp. bought the property. The name Agoura comes from the Pierre Agoura family, whose ranch encompassed 16,880 acres of Rancho Las Virgenes"

Next week Alhambra.
This information was originally published in the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday December 26, 1989 and Wednesday, December 27, 1989, and has been in my files since I first read it.
