Thousand Oaks, California

Thousand Oaks (commonly referred to by locals as "T.O.") is a city located in Ventura County, California, named after the many oak trees that grace the area, and the city seal is adorned by the symbol of an oak. The city is part of a regional area called the Conejo Valley, which includes Thousand Oaks proper, Newbury Park, and part of Westlake Village. In fact, the Los Angeles County/Ventura County line crosses right through the middle of Westlake Village; thus, Westlake Village, 91362 is technically part of the city of Thousand Oaks in Ventura County, whereas Westlake Village, 91361 is its own city, separate and distinct from Thousand Oaks in Los Angeles County. The city is served by both the Ventura Freeway and California State Route 23. California Lutheran University is located in Thousand Oaks.
