About Simi Valley

It's a great place to live. Simi Valley is named after an old  Native Indian called Shimiyi. With a population of about 130,000 (2016), Simi Valley is the 47th largest city California.  Simi is home to the Ronald Reagan presidential library and borders on the LA neighborhood Thousand Oaks.  Simi Valley is extremely safe, and ranks as the 7th safest and 5th happiest city in the US.  The median household income is more than $20,000 above the national average at $88,000.

The first inhabitants of Simi Valley were the Spanish. Rancho Simi, as it was called changed hands to the Americans after the Mexican-US War in and around 1850.  The rancho was sold to a company run by Thomas A. Scott.  There was hope that oil would be discovered but that turned out to be a pipe dream.  This agricultural based community retained many of its original Spanish Inhabitants in combination with the new settlers from the east. Up until .forty years ago, farms, orchards, and groves dominated the valley landscape.   The town was rebuilt a couple of times, once in 1926 and a second time in 1952, due a massive flood.
If you want to work in town, it's slim pickings. Most people in Simi commute outside the community to work.  Health care and regional government accounts for almost all of the local jobs.

On Dec. 9, the Simi Valley planning commission unanimously approved a municipal code amendment establishing local land-use standards that govern where, if anywhere, in the city medical marijuana can be cultivated.

At the meeting, senior planner Tom Preece said if Simi Valley doesn’t address marijuana cultivation in its land-use standards, the state will decide how local land is used, per the California Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act.
