Ojai was first well known for its citrus fruit and cattle ranching, but in the 1870's, eastern newspapers began to publicize the area for its qualities as a winter resort and tourist haven. It's popularity greatly enlarged after this influx of tourists. It remains a haven today for artists and craftsmen.
