The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Casa Conejo ( ; Spanish for "Rabbit House") is an unincorporated county island in Newbury Park, Ventura County, California, United States. It was the first planned community in Newbury Park, with construction beginning in 1960.

The community is bordered by Old Conejo Road and US 101 to the north, Borchard Road to the south, Jenny Drive to the west, and Sequoia Middle School to the east.

Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 3,249 people in 2010, 3,267 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1965.

Nothing in Casa Conejo is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Casa Conejo has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Grand Union Hotel in Thousand Oaks, 1.9 miles away.
