Oak Park is part of Ventura County situated between Agoura Hills and Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village with approximately 14,266. The Chumash originally settled in Oak Park due to an abundance of natural resources, including fresh water, acorns and rabbit-hunting, and it is one of the oldest occupied places in California.

It was originally part of Rancho Simi and Oak Park was formed from ranchland owned by Jim and Marian Jordan, stars of the radio show Fibber McGee and Molly. The land was purchased by Metropolitan Development Corporation in the 1960s. Kanan-Dume Road (named after a local family) was the only access road to the community.

The Ventura County Board of Supervisors created a Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) in 1975 to represent the community to County agencies. All available land is now developed with the remaining vacant land owned by the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District.

Oak Park is proud of its excellent schools, which consistently rank among the highest in the state of California which is the main attraction for people moving to this community. Surrounded by open space, it is a quiet bedroom community offering an abundance of walking and hiking trails.
