This visual history of the 20th centuryas middle decades in Santa
Paula illustrates how a rural city settled into its middle age. As
a sequel to Images of America: Santa Paula, which covered the
pioneering and settlement years of 1870 to 1930, it continues this
Ventura County cityas story through the Depression decade and the
World War II and Korean War home front years that led up to the
sixties. The time from 1930 to 1960 was prosperous for the two main
industries in Santa Paula and its environs: citrus cultivation and
oil production. The population increases reflected the job
opportunities that these industries presented, bringing other
families, businesses, and opportunities to the growing city.
