Meiners Oaks is a unincorporated community lying west of the city of Ojai in Ventura County, California, United States. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Meiners Oaks as a census-designated place (CDP). The census definition of the area may not precisely correspond to local understanding of the area with the same name.〔("Boundary Map and Geodata for the CDP of Meiners Oaks in California, U.S.A." ). MapTechnica.com. Retrieved August 7, 2015〕 The population was 3,571 at the 2010 census. ==History== German native John Meiners had immigrated to America in 1848 and established a successful brewing operation in Milwaukee. In the 1870s, he acquired the land that would become Meiners Oaks as payment for a debt. When a friend and business associate, Edward D. Holton, travelled through California and investigated the land, Meiners learned that he had acquired one of the largest oak groves on flat ground in southern California. Upon arriving in person, Meiners also found the climate agreeable, and established a ranch. Several hundred acres, north of the oak grove, were used quite successfully to grow lemons, oranges, plums, apricots and apples, as well as oats, wheat, barley and more. Meiners lived on his ranch intermittently until his death in 1898.
