Newbury Park contains many ancient burial sites, most near the Santa Monica Mountains in the Southern portion of the community. Many artifacts have been discovered in the area. Newbury Park is named after Egbert Starr Newbury, who owned thousands of acres of land in the Conejo Valley and who was the first postmaster in the 1870s. John Edwards, Howard Mills,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Conejo School )〕 and Newbury〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Newbury Family )〕 bought Rancho El Conejo land. Newbury and his wife Fannie moved to California from Michigan for health reasons in 1871 and he became the first postmaster in the Conejo Valley in 1875. The post office was near their house which was located at the current location of the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. The historic Stagecoach Inn was used by travelers between Los Angeles in the south and Santa Barbara to the north as a stagecoach station. Together with Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park was part of a master planned community by the Janss Investment Company. Most of Newbury Park, along with the parts of Westlake Village located in Ventura County, became part of the City of Thousand Oaks sometime between the 1960s and 1970s. The annexed area was formerly controlled by Ventura County, but after a community vote, all but Casa Conejo became part of Thousand Oaks. Because of its relatively close proximity to the studios in Hollywood, numerous TV shows and movies were filmed in here, including for example Flaming Frontier (1926), Wild Horse (1931), Clearing the Range (1931), Wuthering Heights (1939), Lassie Come Home (1943), The Horse Soldiers (1959), and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963).〔http://www.stagecoachmuseum.org/people_links/movie_locations.htm〕 More recent movies filmed here includes Bedtime Stories (2008), Gamers: The Movie (2006), Road to the Open (2014), The Diner (2014), and The Double Born (2008).〔http://www.imdb.com/search/text?realm=title&field=locations&q=Newbury%20Park%20California〕 Various western-style movies were filmed in Wildwood Regional Park, which borders Newbury Park to the north. Some of the movies and TV-series filmed here include Bonanza, Dodge City, Gunsmoke, the Rifleman, Flaming Star, the Big Valley and Wagon Train, as well as films such as Spartacus, Gunsight Ridge, the Grapes of Wrath, and Duel in the Sun.〔Schad, Jerry (2009).
