History

"Fillmore, a sleepy little town nestled in the upper reaches of the Santa Clara River Valley, typifies an idealistic aspect of life that is rapidly disappearing from the California scene. Once a part of the gigantic Sespe or San Cayetano land grant, issued in 1833 by Governor Jose Figueroa to Antonio Carrillo, the area in and around present-day Fillmore is served by a parochial complex under the patronage of Saint Francis." –Delegation of the Roman Catholic Archdiocesan Board of Consultors, October 1971 

Fillmore was founded in 1888 by Jerome A. Fillmore, General Superintendent of the Southern Pacific Railroad. On ,a street map of the town of Fillmore was recorded in the Ventura County Courthouse. By  Fillmore had a population of 150. The first schoolhouse was built in 1874. It was 20 by 30 feet with three windows on each side. The first graduating class of Fillmore High School was in 1911 with four students. saw the first commercial orange grove planted in Fillmore. During the “orange rush” of 1897, the Fillmore Citrus Fruit Association was formed and would eventually become Sunkist Growers. Fillmore’s first orange packing house was built at the corner of Sespe Avenue and A Street, on property purchased for $50 (sources: Fillmore Chamber of Commerce and Heritage Valley Association). 

Fillmore still has a kind of small-town atmosphere which is becoming increasingly rare in suburbanized Ventura County. The farms of nearby , as well as the town's relatively remote location away from the sprawl of the West and South parts of the County, have helped preserved this atmosphere.
