The Chumash Indians were the original inhabitants of the
area that would become Calabasas. They hunted game and
collected acorn and grains for food and even started
controlled fires every 3 to 5 years to boost plant growth
in the area. With the arrival of Spanish explorers and
settlers in the late 1700s, the Chumash were forced out of
their native lands.
The Spaniards first arrived in expeditions to determine
whether the land could be settled. Later, missionaries
arrived to convert the Chumash to Christianity. Finally,
the settlers arrived and brought with them farming and
ranching. They raised livestock and planted crops. The
land remained ranching and farming land until the demand
for land for homes became so great that farmers and
ranchers began to break up their land and sell it as plots
for homes.
